Abstract
Pull-out tests for three different types of strip reinforcements are performed to investigate variation of the apparent coefficient of friction which occurs between the reinforcements and the weathered granite soils with different contents of fine materials. The contents of fine materials for the soil sample are varied from 7% to 36% and the reinforcements used for the pullout tests are smooth, ribbed steel strips and a textured shape Paraweb 1 Friction tie. Test results show that the apparent coefficient of friction tends to decrease with the increase of the content of fine meterials. It is known, however, that the minimum apparent coefficient of friction required to the design of reinforced earth structures can be achieved even at 35% fine contents by using appropriate reinforcements. The ribbed strip reinforcement is found to be the most effective in mobilizing the apparent friction when interacting to finer weathered granite soils. The textured reinforcement is also useful for 35% fine con tents if the textured depth is increased.
화강토(화강암풍화토)의 세립자함유율에 따른 각종 띠형 보강재의 겉보기마찰계수의 변화를 알아보기 위하여 세립자함유율이 각각 7.28%, 19.58%, 35.86%인 3가지의 화강토 시료와 판형, 돌기형과 거친 무의형의 띠형 보강재를 대상으로 인발시험을 시행하였다. 인발시험결과 세립자함 유율이 증가하면 겉보기마찰계수는 감소하지만 세립자함유율이 35%인 화강토에서도 보강재 형상에 따라 보강토체 안정에 필요한 겉보기마찰계수를 얻을 수 있음이 확인되었다. 특히 돌기형 보강재는 세립자 함유율이 큰 화강토에서 매우 우수한 결과를 보였으며, 거친무늬형도 무늬깊이를 수정하면 35%의 세립자함유율의 화강토에 적용이 가능하다.
