To investigate the behaviour of the embankment on very soft foundation reinforced geotex- files,the laboratory model test in order to analyze the elementary effects of geotextile reinfor- cement and the finite element program analyzing the stresses and deformations characteristics was carried out. A two-dimensional nonlinear finite element program called GEOTEXT(a modification of ISBILD) for the static analysis of embankment on very soft foundation reinforced geotextiles has been developed. Both linear and nonlinear hyperbolic stress-strain soil models are inclu- ded, and incremental and stage construction can be simulated. However, the program GEO- TEXT is not developed herein as an adaptable design tool for practicing engineer. It was found that the geotextile reinforcement significantly reduced the shear stresses in the foundation and decreased the vertical differential settlements at the top of the embank- ment. This influence was more pronounced as the tensile strength of the geotextile was increased.

Building on/with expansive soils with no treatment brings complications. Compacted expansive soils specifically fall short in satisfying the minimum requirements for transport embankment infrastructures, requiring the adoption of hauled virgin mineral aggregates or a sustainable alternative. Use of hauled aggregates comes at a high carbon and economical cost. On average, every 9m high embankment built with quarried/hauled soils cost $12600MJ.m^{-2}$ Embodied Energy (EE). A prospect of using mixed cutting-arising expansive soils with industrial/domestic wastes can reduce the carbon cost and ease the pressure on landfills. The widespread use of recycled materials has been extensively limited due to concerns over their long-term performance, generally low shear strength and stiffness. In this contribution, hydromechanical properties of a waste tyre sand-sized rubber (a mixture of polybutadiene, polyisoprene, elastomers, and styrene-butadiene) and expansive silt is studied, allowing the short- and long-term behaviour of optimum compacted composites to be better established. The inclusion of tyre shred substantially decreased the swelling potential/pressure and modestly lowered the compression index. Silt-Tyre powder replacement lowered the bulk density, allowing construction of lighter reinforced earth structures. The shear strength and stiffness decreased on addition of tyre powder, yet the contribution of matric suction to the shear strength remained constant for tyre shred contents up to 20%. Reinforced soils adopted a ductile post-peak plastic behaviour with enhanced failure strain, offering the opportunity to build more flexible subgrades as recommended for expansive soils. Residual water content and tyre shred content are directly correlated; tyre-reinforced silt showed a greater capacity of water storage (than natural silts) and hence a sustainable solution to waterlogging and surficial flooding particularly in urban settings. Crushed fine tyre shred mixed with expansive silts/sands at 15 to 20 wt% appear to offer the maximum reduction in swelling-shrinking properties at minimum cracking, strength loss and enhanced compressibility expenses.

본 연구에서는 지오그리드로 보강된 도로제방 사면에 대해 한계평형해석에 근거한 보강사면해석 프로그램인 RSS를 이용하여 보강길이와 간격의 변화에 따른 사면의 안전율 변화를 살펴보았다. 해석결과 비보강시 기준안전율을 만족하지 못하는 사면에서 보강재길이의 증가에 따라 비보강사면에 비해 최대 50~150%의 안전율이 증가되었으며 보강길이를 증가시켜도 안전율의 추가상승이 없는 한계길이를 확인하였다. 또한 동일 가상보강단면에 대하여 범용프로그램인 FLAC을 이용하여 유한차분해석을 실시하여 안정성이 확보된 사면에 발생하는 수평변위, 수평응력, 보강재의 인장력을 산출하여 보강길이의 추가적인 증가에 의한 효과를 알아보았다. 해석결과, 파괴형태는 선단파괴 또는 사면내 파괴로 나타났으며 안정성을 확보한 상태에서는 한계평형해석결과와 동일하게 보강길이의 추가적인 증가에 의한 안정성 증대효과는 미미한 것으로 나타났다.

The reinforced soil has been widely used for constructing retaining walls and embankment with steep slope. However, the benefits of soil reinforcing are often-restricted by a lack of good quality backfill material. In this study, plane strain compression tests were carried out to study the effects of preloading on the behavior of geosynthetic-reinforced saturated clay. For the unreinforced and reinforced soil, drained and undrained shearing tests were peformed after anisotropic consolidation in a constant strain rate. A preoading test was carried out by preloading, creep, unloading, aging and undrained shearing after anisotropic consolidation(K=0.3, σ'₃=50 kPa). It was observed that a reinforced clay, Kanto loam, can have a great initial secant modulus in undraind condition by well compaction and over consolidation. The results shown that the increasing of drained strength should be used to apply a large preloading in the case of reinforced clay.

The results of an experimental investigation on the characteristics of compaction and compressive strength of polypropylene fiber reinforced soil are presented in this paper. This study has been performed to obtain the physical properties of PFRS(polypropylene fiber reinforced soil) such as strain-stress relationships, OMC(optimum moisture contents) and ${\gamma}$dmax (maximum dry unit weight), with four different contents (i.e., 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5% and 1.0% weights ) of mono-filament and fibrillated polypropylene fibers. From the compaction test results, it is found that OMC increased with the contents ratio of fiber, but ${\gamma}$dmax decreased. It means that the improvement of the workability and the reduction of the weight of embankment structures by the asddtion of the polypropylene fiber. And, from the compression test results, it is found that the additon of the polypropylene fiber remarkably improved the compressive strength of PFRS. And it was observed in the viewpoint of strength that the fibrillated polypropylene fiber reinforced soil is more effective than the mono-filament polypropylene fiber reinforced soil.

최근 철도는 고속화를 위해 콘크리트궤도를 적용하는 추세이고 연약지반 구간에 건설된 철도는 장기간에 걸친 작은 양의 침하발생으로도 침하에 민감한 콘크리트 궤도의 침하량 허용범위를 초과하여 궤도의 손상과 뒤틀림을 초래할 수 있다. 연약지반에 건설된 철도의 잔류침하를 효과적으로 제어 할 수 있는 방법으로 성토지지말뚝공법을 들 수 있으며 성토하중을 말뚝머리로 전달하기 위해 콘크리트 슬라브가 사용되기도 하나 하중이 전달되는 과정에 나타나는 성토체 내부의 아칭효과를 극대화하는 토목섬유를 이용한 방법이 보다 경제적이다. 그러나 토목섬유 등으로 인해 집중된 성토하중을 받는 성토지지용 말뚝은 일반적으로 교량구조물에 사용하는 PHC말뚝을 그대로 사용하고 있으며 이는 필요이상으로 높은 강도의 재료를 사용함으로써 재료의 효율성이 크게 떨어지고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 해외의 적용사례 조사를 통해 성토지지용으로 가장 적합한 말뚝의 형식으로 현장타설 콘크리트 말뚝을 선정하고 산업부산물을 이용한 배합설계와 압축강도시험을 통해 성토지지용 말뚝재료의 최적 배합조건을 도출하였다. 그리고 최적배합조건을 적용한 성토지지용 현장타설말뚝이 기존 PHC말뚝에 비해 재료의 효율성이 약 2.8배 뛰어나다는 것을 수치해석을 통해 확인하였다.

최근 연약지반에 도로 또는 철도 제방을 축조하는 경우 말뚝 또는 개량체 기둥을 연약지반에 설치한 후에 성토하는 말뚝(또는 기둥)지지 성토공법이 많이 적용되고 있다. 이 공법은 지반아칭 현상을 이용해서 제방하중의 상당한 부분을 말뚝 또는 기둥을 통해서 지지층으로 전달함으로써 기초지반의 전단파괴를 방지하고 또한 침하량을 효율적으로 경감시킬 수 있다. 그러나 말뚝 또는 기둥지지 성토제방의 경우 말뚝(또는 기둥)과 미개량 원지반 사이의 부등침하로 인하여 노면의 요철이 발생하는 문제점이 노출되었다. 이러한 부등침하를 경감시키기 위하여 토목섬유로 보강한 토목섬유보강 말뚝(또는 기둥)지지 성토공법을 적용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 2차원 유한요소 프로그램인 PLAXIS 2D를 이용하여 시멘트 개량체 기둥으로 지지된 성토제방과 지오그리드를 이용해서 보강한 기둥지지 성토제방의 지반아칭 효과를 비교·분석하였다. 유한요소해석 결과 기둥지지 성토제방의 경우 면적치환비가 증가할수록 응력감소비가 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 지오그리드로 보강한 기둥지지 성토제방의 경우 면적치환비와 지지형식에 따라 부등침하량과 응력감소비의 경감효과가 다소 간의 차이를 보이기는 하나 상대적으로 강성이 큰 지오그리드로 보강하였을 경우 부등침하량과 응력감소비 경감효과가 더 크게 나타났다. 그리고 지오그리드로 보강하면 부등침하를 효율적으로 경감시킬 수 있다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.

Low liquid limit silt, widely distributed in the middle and down reaches of Yellow River, has the disadvantages of poor grading, less clay content and poor colloidal activity. It is very easy to cause vehicle jumping at the bridge-embankment transition section when the low liquid limit silt used as the backfill at the abutment back. In this paper, a series of laboratory tests were carried out to study the physical and mechanical properties of the low liquid limit silt used as back filling. Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) was excited by active MgO and hydrated lime to solidify silt as abutment backfill. The optimum ratio of firming agent and the compaction and mechanical properties of reinforced soil were revealed through compaction test and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) test was used to study the pore characteristics and hydration products of reinforced soil. 6% hydrated lime and alkali activated slag were used to solidify silt and fill the model of subgrade respectively. The pavement settlement regulation and soil internal stress-strain regulation of subgrade with different materials under uniformly distributed load were studied by model experiment. The effect of alkali activated slag curing agent on curing silt was verified. The research results can provide technical support for highway construction in silt area of the Yellow River alluvial plain.

In this paper, Rigid Reinforced Roadbed(RRR) which is expected to have highly applicability to railroad roadbed, was introduced and field tests results were analyzed. Full scale model with 5m height concerning a single track railroad roadbed was constructed. The model had four different sections, which was to assess the effect of geogrid length, spacing, and connection method on deformation characteristics of RRR. Laser displacement meter, earth pressure cell, piezometer, and strain gauge were installed in order to analyze the behavior of reinforced embankment during construction. Horizontal displacements caused by compaction at each section were 20~30% below the displacement limit that of general reinforced retaining wall, which showed that RRR was very stable structure. Maximum tensile strength of reinforcement was withing 10% of the long-term design strength.
