Abstract

The effects of non-woven geotextiles on mechanical behavior of sand were investigated. A comprehensive series of triaxial compression tests were performed for these investigation on unreinforced and reinforced sand with geotextiles. The Joomunjin standard sand was used and non-woven geotextiles were included into sand specimen with three layers. The inclusion of non-woven geotextile reinforcement into sand increased the peak strength of sand significantly and the reinforced samples exhibited a greater axial strain at failure. Also the effect on number of reinforcement layers was studied and found as increasing the number of reinforcement layers resulting in more ductility by clogging developed in the shear band within the specimens. It was also found that the tendency of samples to dilate is restricted by non-woven geotextile inclusion. The effect of nunber of reinforcement layer increasing is just same to the effect of decreasing void ratio of sand in this case.

부직포에 의한 보강이 모래의 역학적 거동에 미치는 영향에 대해 검토하였다. 이 검토를 위해 보강모래와 무보강모래에 대한 일련의 삼축압축시험이 수행되었다. 표준사인 주문진사가 사용되었고, 부직포 보강재가 모래시료 속에 최대 3층 배치되었다. 분석결과 모래속의 부직포 배치는 모래의 전단강도를 크게 증가시켰고, 보강모래는 파괴시의 변형률도 증가하였다. 또한, 보강층수가 증가할수록 보강재에 의한 시료내 전단층의 확산 방지효과의 증가로 보다 연성화하고, 모래시료의 체적팽창 경향은 부직포 배치에 의해 억제됨이 밝혀졌다. 보강층수 증가에 의한 효과는 간극비 감소로 인한 효과와 같다.
