Geosynthetic reinforced soil method in coarse-grained soils has been widely used in last decades. Two effective factors on soil-geosynthetic interaction are confining stresses and loading rate in clay. In terms of methodology, one pull-out test with four different strain rates, namely 0.75, 1.25, 1.75 and 2.25 mm/min, and three different normal stresses equal to 20, 50, and 80 kg have been performed on specimens with dimensions of 30×30×17 cm in the saturated, consolidated condition. The obtained results have demonstrated that activation of geosynthetic strength at contact surface depends on the applied stress. In addition, the increase in normal stress would increase the shear strength at contact surface between clay and geogrid. Moreover, it is concluded that the strain rate increment would increase the shear strength.

균열점토에 대한 강섬유 사용 가능성을 평가하기 위하여 균열이 있는 보강점토와 비보강점토 시료에 대한 일축압축실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 강섬유 보강으로 인하여 균열의 시작과 진행에 대한 저항력에 증가하므로써 균열 시작시 응력과 파괴시 극한응력이 증가되었다. 균열의 시작과 진행에 대한 저항력의 증가는 점토시료에서 강섬유에 의한 균열진행의 억제 또는 진행방향의 변경과 관련되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 파괴역학 이론과 섬유로 보강된 물질에서의 일반미케니즘을 적용하여 실험결과에 대한 이론적인 해석이 이루어졌다. 해석결과 강섬유의 인발작용을 통한 연결효과로 인하여 시료에서 균열의 진행에 대한 저항력이 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 이론적인 분석에 의하여 예측된 인발력은 인발실험으로 부터 산정된 값과 비교적 잘 일치되었다.

Plate anchors are generally used for structures like transmission towers, mooring systems etc. where the uplift and lateral forces are expected to be predominant. The capacity of anchor plate can be increased by the use of geosynthetics without altering the size of plates. Numerical simulations have been carried out on three different sizes of square anchor plates. A single layer geosynthetic has been used as reinforcement in the analysis and placed at three different positions from the plate. The effects of various parameters like embedment ratio, position of reinforcement, width of reinforcement, frequency and loading amplitude on the pull out capacity have been presented in this study. The load-displacement behaviour of anchors for various embedment ratios with and without reinforcement has been also observed. The pull out load, corresponding to a displacement equal to each of the considered maximum amplitudes of a given frequency, has been expressed in terms of a dimensionless breakout factor. The pull out load for all anchors has been found to increase by more than 100% with embedment ratio varying from 1 to 6. Finally a semi empirical formulation for breakout factor for square anchors in reinforced soil has also been proposed by carrying out regression analysis on the data obtained from numerical simulations.

본 논문에서는 보편적인 제방 보강공법 중 하나인 보축 공법이 적용된 실제 제방을 대상으로 하여, 원심모형시험을 수행하고 조건에 따른 제방의 침투 거동을 분석하였다. 동일한 단면 조건에서 투수성이 낮은 양질의 재료가 제내지를 보축한 경우와 제외지를 보축한 경우에 대한 원심모형시험을 수행하고 각 경우를 비교하여, 보축 방향에 따른 영향을 분석하였다. 또한, 대상 현장의 제방은 투수성이 낮은 세립토층에 축조되어 있었으며, 이에 대한 영향을 분석하였다. 제외지 보축의 경우, 시간이 흐름에 따라 제내지 보축의 경우에 비해 포화영역의 확산이 적고 느리게 나타났다. 제내지 보축된 경우, 상대적으로 빠르게 포화영역이 확대되었으나, 제내지 보축의 낮은 투수성으로 침투수가 많이 유출되지는 않았다. 낮은 투수성의 하부 기초지반은 포화영역이 확대되었으며, 또한 기초지반 아래에서 배수층에 작용하는 압력으로 인한 과잉간극수압에 의해 보다 빠르게 포화가 진행되었다.

This study has been performed to confirm the three dimensional effect of the crack reduction and the restrained effect of crack growth for the synthetic fiber reinforced soil. Two types of polyrpropylene fiber and low plastic clay(CL) were used for the test. And the test variable were fiber length and so on. The results of the study were summarized as follows ; 1) The mixing of synthetic fiber was effective in reducing crack growth due to adhesion between soil partlcles and synthetic fiber.l Especially initlal crack was delayed, as compared with the pure soil, for about 1 day in case of mono filament synthetic fiber and for about 1 or 2 days in case of fibrillated syntetic fiber. 2) As the content and length of synthetic fiber were increased , the effect of crack reduction was increased. It was found that 0.5% fibrillated synthetic fiber with 40mm length reinforced soil had about 3 times more effective than natural soils. 3) In case of the same fiber content and fiber length, the fibrillated synthetic fiber has nmore effective than the mono filament synthetic fiber for crack reduction.

The main objective of this experimental research was to investigate the Seismic performance of reinforced concrete frames infilled with perforated clay brick masonry wall of a type commonly used in Algeria. Four one story-one bay reinforced concrete infilled frames of half scale of an existing building were tested at the National Earthquake Engineering Research Center Laboratory, CGS, Algeria. The experiments were carried out under a combined constant vertical and reversed cyclic lateral loading simulating seismic action. This experimental program was performed in order to evaluate the effect and the contribution of the infill masonry wall on the lateral stiffness, strength, ductility and failure mode of the reinforced concrete frames. Numerical models were developed and calibrated using the experimental results to match the load-drift envelope curve of the considered specimens. These models were used as a bench mark to assess the effect of normalized axial load on the seismic performance of the RC frames with and without masonry panels. The main experimental and analytical results are presented in this paper.

실란 커플링제가 카본블랙과 점토로 보강된 천연 고무 가황물의 회복 특성에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. Bis-(3-(triethoxysilyl)-propyl)-tetrasulfide (TESPT)를 실란 커플링제로 사용하였다. 실란 커플링제가 함유된 가황물은 실란 커플링제가 함유되지 않은 가황물에 비해 전반적으로 빠른 회복 거동을 보였다. 그러나, 점토 함량이 높은 가황물의 경우 $-20^{\circ}C$보다 낮은 온도에서는 실란 커플링제가 함유된 가황물이 실란 커플링제가 함유되지 않은 가황물에 비해 느리게 회복되었다. 실란 커플링제가 함유된 가황물과 실란 커플링제가 함유되지 않은 가황물의 회복량 차이는 점토 함량이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 실험 결과는 가교 밀도, 모둘러스, 그리고 결합 고무량으로 설명하였다.

Industrialization and urbanization are the two phenomena that are going relentless all over the world. The consequence of this economic success has been a massive increase in waste on one hand and increasing demand for suitable sites for construction on the other. Owing to the surplus raw materials and energy requirement needed for manufacturing synthetic fibers, applications of waste fibers for reinforcing soils evidenced to offer economic and environmental benefits. The main objective of the proposed work is to explore the possibilities of improving the strength of soil using fly ash waste as an admixture and Human Hair Fiber (HHF) as reinforcement such that they can be used for construction of embankments and land reclamation projects. The effect of fiber content on soil - fly ash mixture was observed through a series of laboratory tests such as compaction tests, CBR and unconfined compression tests. From the stress - strain curves, it was observed that the UCC strength for the optimised soil - flyash mixture reinforced with 0.75% human hair fibers is nearly 2.85 times higher than that of the untreated soil. Further, it has been noticed that there is about 7.73 times increase in CBR for the reinforced soil compared to untreated soil. This drastic increase in strength may be due to the fact that HHF offer more pull-out resistance which makes the fibers act like a bridge to prevent further cracking and thereby it improves the toughness which in turn prevent the brittle failure of soil-flyash specimen. Hence, the test results reveal that the inclusion of randomly distributed HHF in soil significantly improves the engineering properties of soil and can be effectively utilized in pavements. SEM analysis explained the change of microstructures and the formation of hydration products that offered increase in strength and it was found to be in accordance with strength tests.

The present study focuses on the application of artificial neural network (ANN) and Multiple linear Regression (MLR) analysis for developing a model to predict the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and split tensile strength (STS) of the fiber reinforced clay stabilized with grass ash, fly ash and lime. Unconfined compressive strength and Split tensile strength are the nonlinear functions and becomes difficult for developing a predicting model. Artificial neural networks are the efficient tools for predicting models possessing non linearity and are used in the present study along with regression analysis for predicting both UCS and STS. The data required for the model was obtained by systematic experiments performed on only Kaolin clay, clay mixed with varying percentages of fly ash, grass ash, polypropylene fibers and lime as between 10-20%, 1-4%, 0-1.5% and 0-8% respectively. Further, the optimum values of the various stabilizing materials were determined from the experiments. The effect of stabilization is observed by performing compaction tests, split tensile tests and unconfined compression tests. ANN models are trained using the inputs and targets obtained from the experiments. Performance of ANN and Regression analysis is checked with statistical error of correlation coefficient (R) and both the methods predict the UCS and STS values quite well; but it is observed that ANN can predict both the values of UCS as well as STS simultaneously whereas MLR predicts the values separately. It is also observed that only STS values can be predicted efficiently by MLR.
