Textile Reinforced Cementitious Composite (TRCC) became the most common construction material lately and have excellent properties. TRCC can be employed in the manufacture of thin-walled facade elements, load-bearing integrated formwork, tunnel linings or in the strengthening of existing structures. These composite materials are a combination of matrix and textile materials. There isn't much research done about the usage of polymer modified matrices in textile reinforced cementitious composites. In this study, matrix materials named as fine grained concretes ($d_{max}{\leq}1.0mm$) were investigated. Air entraining effect of polymer modifiers were analyzed and air void content of fine grained concretes were identified with different methods. Aim of this research is to study the effect of polymer modification on the air content of fine grained concretes and the role of defoamer in controlling it. Polymer modifiers caused excessive air entrainment in all mixtures and defoamer material successfully lowered down the air content in all mixtures. Latex polymer modified mixtures had higher air content than redispersible powder modified ones. Air void analysis test was performed on selected mixtures. Air void parameters were compared with the values taken from air content meter. Close results were obtained with tests and air void analysis test found to be useful and applicable to fine grained concretes. Air void content in polymer modified matrix material used in TRCC found significant because of affecting mechanical and permeability parameters directly.

Vibration triaxial compression test was put in influence for liquefaction strength of fine grained soil of dredged and reclaimed ground and consideration for fine fraction content, relative density, overconsolidation ratio and plasticity index in this study. By the results of these test, the liquefaction strength increased with fine fraction content and the relative density, overconsolidation ratio incresed with liquefaction strength too. However, in the case of nonplastic silt was the smalist liquefaction strength which influenced by dilatancy and interlocking when silt content was 34.7%(average grading 0.12mm). Therefore, liquefaction strength of fine grained soil of dredged and reclaimed ground increased with fine fraction content so it will help to make lower liquefaction.

The ground work with of the research is constructed by a SCP method to improve clay ground in the sedimentary layer and sand ground in the reclamation layer at the same time as a reclaimed soft ground by reclaiming deep depth. Improved fine-grained soils in the sand ground decrease the ground improvement effect and have an influence on replacement ratio of SCP method. Fine-Grained soils which advances in sand ground reduces a from improvement effect, Makes affect in replacement ratio of SCP method. In this study, consideration about replacement ratio of sand ground, Tried to observe affects in replacement ratio of fine-grained soils SCP method of dredging reclamation ground. The result, replacement ratio which follows in the Japan Geotechnical Society experience-chart(1988) recording where fine-grained soils content will increase feebly, was visible the aspect which increases progressively, replacement ratio in compliance with Gibbs and Holts(1973) methods according to fine-grained soils increase is visible the tendency which decreases gradually with the enemy. Specially, according to case fine-grained content of Mizuno(1987) methods increases, replacement ratio suddenly was showing the trend which rises from of 50% and according to fine-grained soils increase was overestimated.

This paper describes the rainfall-induced slope failures caused by infiltration due to prolonged rainfall. The emphasis was on quantifying the effect of fine-grained contents which are influencing on the infiltration rate in the wetting front of initially unsaturated slopes during rainfall. Suction tests by tensiometer were performed for five mixture specimens with varying fine-grained contents and then, numerical analyses for the stability of unsaturated slopes are carried out for different relative densities and mixture portions based on the soil water characteristic curves obtained by GCTS pressure plate. It is shown that the fines are highly influenced on wetting front suction of unsaturated soil slopes. Based on the results, it is found that until 15% fine content is the limit showing different wetting front suction, beyond which the wetting band depth do not affect considerably the stability of unsaturated slopes.

항복응력, 점성과 같은 유변학적 특성은 토석류의 유변성을 결정하는 주요 매개변수이다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 액성지수와 모래함량을 가지는 세립토를 대상으로 유변측정 시험을 수행하였다. 이를 통해 전단응력-전단변형률속도 관계, 액성지수와 점성 및 항복응력 관계, 체적농도와 점성 및 항복응력 관계 등과 같은 다양한 분석을 통해 모래함량을 달리하는 흙에 대한 유변학적 특성을 파악하였다. 유변측정 시험 결과로부터 세립토의 유동곡선 특성은 전단변형률속도가 점차 커짐에 따라 곡선의 기울기가 감소하는 전형적인 전단담화(shear thinning)의 거동 형태를 나타냄을 알 수 있다. 동일한 모래함량을 갖는 시료에서 액성지수가 증가함에 따라 항복응력과 점성은 감소하는 경향을 보이며, 동일 액성지수 상태에서 모래함량이 커짐에 따라 항복응력과 점성 모두 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 항복응력과 점성은 약간의 함수비 증가에도 크게 감소함을 알수 있다. 체적농도($C_v$)가 증가함에 따라 항복응력과 점성은 증가하는 경향을 나타낸다. 회귀분석을 통해 임의의 체적농도($C_v$)에 대한 항복응력과 점성의 계수 ${\alpha}_1$, ${\alpha}_2$, ${\beta}_1$, ${\beta}_2$를 산정하였다.

본 연구에서는 압밀 배수를 촉진하기 위한 공법에서 사용되는 조립토나 골재로의 세립토 관입 정도를 다양한 조건에서 실험을 통해 확인하여 세립토의 조립토나 골재로의 관입특성을 규명하였다. 지중응력에 대응하는 압력의 크기나 세립토 함수비의 변화에 상관없이 해성점토가 해사나 표준사로는 관입되지 않아 모래 배수/말뚝 체에서의 배수저항 현상은 전혀 발생하지 않은 것으로 확인되었고, 오히려 물다짐에 의한 모래 배수/말뚝 체의 전단강도가 크게 증대한 것으로 보인다. 골재의 경우에는 골재의 입경이 클수록 해성점토의 관입깊이는 증대하고, 같은 골재라도 압력이나 함수비가 클수록 해성점토의 관입깊이는 증대함을 알 수 있었으며, 액성한계보다 작은 함수비를 갖는 해성점토는 입자가 작은 편인 13mm 골재로의 관입깊이가 현저하게 줄어들어 그 관입깊이가 상당히 적다 하더라도 일단 관입된 세립토에 의해 배수/말뚝 체에서의 배수저항 현상이 발생할 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 자연함수비가 액성한계보다 큰 매우 연약한 세립토층에서는 모래보다 큰 입경을 갖는 쇄석이나 자갈 등 골재를 사용하는 gravel drain 공법 및 gravel compaction pile 공법 등의 적용을 지양해야 하고, 자연함수비가 액성한계보다 작은 연약한 세립토 지반에서도 gravel drain 공법 및 gravel compaction pile 공법 등과 같은 연직배수공법을 적용할 경우 그 효용성은 크게 저하할 것으로 사료된다.

Soils are generally classified as fine-grained or coarse-grained depending on the percentage content of the primary constituents. In reality, soils are actually made up of mixed and composite constituents. Soils primarily classified as fine-grained, still consists of a range of coarse particles as secondary constituents in between 0% to 50%. A laboratory scale model test was conducted to investigate the influence of coarse particles on the physical (e.g., density, water content, and void ratio) and mechanical (e.g., quick undrained shear strength) properties of primarily classified fine-grained cohesive soils. Pure kaolinite clay and sand-mixed kaolinite soil (e.g., sand content: 10%, 20%, and 30%) having various water contents (60%, 65%, and 70%) were preconsolidated at different stress levels (0, 13, 17.5, 22 kPa). The quick undrained shear strength properties were determined using the conventional Static Cone Penetration Test (SCPT) method and the new Fall Cone Test (FCT) method. The corresponding void ratios and densities with respect to the quick undrained shear strength were also observed. Correlations of the physical properties and quick undrained shear strengths derived from the SCPT and FCT were also established. Comparison of results showed a significant relationship between the two methods. From the results of FCT and SCPT, there is a decreasing trend of quick undrained shear strength, strength increase ratio ($S_u/P_o$), and void ratio (e) as the sand content is increased. The quick undrained shear strength generally decreases with increased water content. For the same water content, increasing the sand content resulted to a decrease in quick undrained shear strength due to reduced adhesion, and also, resulted to an increase in density. Similarly, it is observed that the change in density is distinctively noticeable at sand content greater than 20%. However, for sand content lower than 10%, there is minimal change in density with respect to water content. In general, the results showed a decrease in quick undrained shear strength for soils with higher amounts of sand content. Therefore, as the soil adhesion is reduced, the cone penetration resistances of the FCT and SCPT reflects internal friction and density of sand in the total shear strength.

Plastic wastes, particularly polyethylene terephthalate (PET) generated from used bottled water constitute a worldwide environmental issue. Reusing the PET waste for geotechnical applications not only reduces environmental burdens of handling the waste, but also improves inherent engineering properties of soil. This paper investigated factors affecting shear strength improvement of PET-mixed residual soil. Four variables were considered: (i) plastic content; (ii) plastic slenderness ratio; (iii) plastic size; and (iv) soil particle size. A series of unconfined compression tests were performed to determine the optimum configurations for promoting the shear strength improvement. The results showed that the optimum slenderness ratio and PET content for shear strength improvement were 1:3 and 1.5%, respectively. Large PET pieces (i.e., $1.0cm^2$) were favorable for fine-grained residual soil, while small PET pieces (i.e., $0.5cm^2$) were favorable for coarse-grained residual soil. Higher shear strength improvement was obtained for PET-mixed coarse-grained residual soil (148%) than fine-grained residual soils (117%). The orientation of plastic pieces in soil and frictional resistance developed between soil particles and PET surface are two important factors affecting the shear strength performance of PET-mixed soil.
