In this study. stress-strain relationships were investigated by performing the confined extension tests for seven types of geosynthetics such as geotextiles, composite geosynthetics and geogrids. A comparison was made between unconfined and confined moduli for each geosynthetic material to quantify the soil confinement effect on stress-strain properties. A comparison was also made between the increase of moduli at the same strain level with the types of the geosynthetics to demonstrate the different stress-strain responses. Based on the result of the extension tests, the higher the confining stress, the larger the secant modulus of geosynthetics. The secant modulus at 5% strain is twice as much as that of 10% strain, especially there is a noticeable increasing of secant modulus for the two nonwoven geotextiles.

본 연구에서는, 인장력과 이에 수직방향으로 작용하는 압축음력을 동시에 고려한 직교이방성 합성부재의 인장력-변형률 관계식(Bhagwan, Agarwal & Brouoan, 1990)을 응용하여, 토목섬유인발저항력 및 인장력에 미치는 구속응력의 영향을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 기법을 제시하였다. 이를 위해서, 국내에서 판매되고 있는 부직포, 직포, 복합포 및 지오그리드 등의 토목섬유를 대상으로 구속신장시험(Confined Extension Test) 및 실내인발시험(Laboratory Pull-out Test)을 수행하였다. 시험결과를 토대로하여 구속응력이 토목섬유의 인장력-변형률 거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였고, 구속응력에 의한 토목섬유 인장력 및 인발저항력의 변화를 정량적으로 평가하였다. 분석결과, 구속응력의 크기가 증가할수록 토목섬유의 할선계수가 뚜렷이 증가하였으며, 본 연구 제안방법에 의한 토목섬유-흙 사이의 마찰저항각 $\delta\; 및\; 보정계수\; a^2$값이 기존의 인발저항력 평가방법에 비하여 다소 큰 값을 나타내어, 인발저항력 산정시 토목섬유에 가해지는 구속음력의 크기를 고려하는 본 연구 제시방법의 경우에 보다 큰 인발저항력이 얻어짐을 알 수 있었다.

Recently, there are much concerns about new and innovative transverse materials which could be used instead of conventional transverse steel in reinforced concrete bridge piers. FRP materials could be substituted for conventional transverse steel because of their sufficient strength, light weight, easy fabrication, and useful applicability to any shapes of pier sections, such as rectangular or circular sections. The objective of this research is to evaluate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete bridge pier specimens with FRP transverse reinforcement by means of the Quasi-Static test. In the first task, test columns were made using FRP rope, but these specimens appeared to fail at low displacement ductility levels due to insufficient confinement of strand extension itself. Therefore, the second task was to evaluate the seismic performance of test specimens transversely confined with FRP band. Although FRP banded specimens showed lower seismic performance than the specimen with spiral reinforcing steel, it satisfied with the response modification factor, 3, required for the single column of Korea bridge roadway design code. It was concluded that FRP band could be efficiently substituted for conventional reinforcing steel.
