The laboratory tests on geogrid-reinforced sand were conducted with considering embedment effect. The relative densities of sand are 60% and 80%, respectively. The embedment depths of foundation were varied as D$\_$f/B=0, 0.5, 1.0. Based on the model test results, (u/B)$\_$cr/, BCR$\_$u/, and (b/B)$\_$cr/, were determined. The optimum depth of reinforcement was determined. The embedment depth of foundation is greatly contributed on the bearing capacity of geogrid-reinforced sand.

국내에서는 여러 가지 형상 및 친환경적인 보강토옹벽 구조물의 시공은 최근 많이 확대되고 있다. 전체구조물의 안정과 더불어 블록에 발생되는 균열은 대부분 원인으로 기초의 침하에 의한 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 기초지반의 부등침하와 관련하여 기초지지력의 설계시 평가법 및 시공시 평가법에 대하여 고찰하였다. 현장에서 실시되고 있는 실제 시공사례를 이용하여 보강토옹벽의 안정을 기초지지력을 만족하지 못하는 경우에 대한 대책방안을 제시하고 그 방안의 활용성을 제시하였다. 보강토옹벽의 기초부분은 전체사면의 잠재적 활동면의 범주내에 있게 되므로 기초지지력을 담당하는 지반은 지반의 활동저항력에 영향을 받게 된다. 따라서, 기초지지력을 부담하는 기초지반은 지지력에 대한 안정을 만족할 뿐 만 아니라 전체사면활동에 저항하는 억지능력에 대하여도 고려되어야 한다.

This paper presents the critical speed analysis of geogrid-reinforced rail roadbeds on soft soil. A rail roadbed on soft ground must be designed to avoid intolerable stress in the underlying soil and to give sufficient support for the rail system. At high speeds, the deformation of rail systems will gain dynamic amplification, and reach excessive values as a certain speed, here termed critical speed is approached. The elastic Winkler foundation model was used to predict the critical speed of geogrid-reinforced rail roadbeds on soft soil and the model properties were determined by the in-situ cyclic plate load test. Based on the parametric study of elastic beam on Winkler foundation model, the critical speed increase with the increase of the flexural risidity of subgrade EI and the stiffness coefficient of Winkler foundation k. From the in-situ cyclic load tests and analysis of elastic beam on Winkler foundation model, the critical speed increase with increase in number of reinforced layer and non-dimensional value for depth of first geogrid layers and the thickness of reinforced rail roadbed u/d.

Concrete is the most widely used substance in construction industry, so it's been required to improve its quality using new technologies. Nowadays, nanotechnology offers new frontiers for improving construction materials. In this paper, we study the stability analysis of the Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT) reinforced concrete cylindrical shell embedded in elastic foundation using the Donnell cylindrical shell theory. In this regard, we propose a new explicit analytical formula of the critical buckling load which takes into account the distribution of SWCNT reinforcement through the thickness of the concrete shell using the U, X, O and V forms and the elastic foundation using Winkler and Pasternak models. The rule of mixture is used to calculate the effective properties of the reinforced concrete cylindrical shell. The influence of diverse parameters on the stability behavior of the reinforced concrete shell is also discussed.

인천 ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$지역의 연약지반에 시공된 변단면 연약지반보강기초(Variable cross-section soft ground reinforced foundation)의 연직압축거동을 분석하였다. 변단면 연약지반보강기초는 원지반과 고화재를 혼합교반하여 형성되는 고형체의 높은 강성과 강도를 이용하여 상부구조물로부터 유발되는 연약하중을 효과적으로 저항하기 위하여 시공된다. 변단면 연약지반보강기초는 군말뚝 형식으로 시공이 되는데, 정확한 연직거동을 알기 위하여 1개소의 기초에 대한 연직재하시험을 수행하였다. 변단면 연약지반보강기초의 거동을 일반적인 깊은 기초의 거동과 비교하기 위하여 유사한 천층지반조건에 시공된 PHC 파일의 재하시험 결과와 비교하여 재하하중에 따른 침하량 및 하중전이 거동특성을 분석하였다. 연직재하시험결과를 비교분석하였다. 변단면 연약지반보강기초는 제한된 범위의 연직하중에 대하여 천층에서도 효율적으로 저항하는 것으로 분석되었다.

Reinforced earth wall system has been popularized since its introduction to Korean civil engineering society in early 1980's. Nowadays, the increased use of reinforced earth wall for the purpose of obtaining more land brings several additional demands such as environmental-friendly, better stable and constructible, and economical system. This paper introduces some recently developed reinforced earth wall systems with consideration of the current demands.

This paper investigates the buckling behavior of carbon nanotube-reinforced composite plates supported by Kerr foundation model. In this foundation elastic of Kerr consisting of two spring layers interconnected by a shearing layer. The plates are reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes with four types of distributions of uniaxially aligned reinforcement material. The analytical equations are derived and the exact solutions for buckling analyses of such type's plates are obtained. The mathematical models provided, and the present solutions are numerically validated by comparison with some available results in the literature. Effect of various reinforced plates parameters such as aspect ratios, volume fraction, types of reinforcement, parameters constant factors of Kerr foundation and plate thickness on the buckling analyses of carbon nanotube-reinforced composite plates are studied and discussed.

Stone columns are widely used to treat soft clay ground. Optimizing the design of stone columns based on cost-effectiveness is always an attractive subject in the practice of ground treatment. In this paper, the design of stone columns is optimized using the concept of robust geotechnical design. Standard deviation of failure probability, which is a system response of concern of the stone column-reinforced foundation, is used as a measure of the design robustness due to the uncertainty in the coefficient of variation (COV) of the noise factors in practice. The failure probability of a stone column-reinforced foundation can be readily determined using Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) based on the settlements of the stone column-reinforced foundation, which are evaluated by a deterministic method. A framework based on the concept of robust geotechnical design is proposed for determining the most preferred design of stone columns considering multiple objectives including safety, cost and design robustness. This framework is illustrated with an example, a stone column-reinforced foundation under embankment loading. Based on the outcome of this study, the most preferred design of stone columns is obtained.

The nonlinear buckling response of nano composite anti-symmetric functionally graded polymeric microplate reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) rested on orthotropic elastomeric foundation with temperature dependent properties is investigated. For the carbon-nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) microplate, a uniform distribution (UD) and four types of functionally graded (FG) distribution are considered. Based on orthotropic Mindlin plate theory, von Karman geometric nonlinearity and Hamilton's principle, the governing equations are derived. Generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) is employed to calculate the non-linear buckling response of the plate. Effects of FG distribution type, elastomeric foundation, aspect ratio (thickness to width ratio), boundary condition, orientation of foundation orthotropy and temperature are considered. The results are validated. It is found that the critical buckling load without elastic medium is significantly lower than considering Winkler and Pasternak medium.

This paper presents a careful theoretical investigation into interfacial stresses in reinforced concrete foundation beam repairing with composite plate. The essential issue in the analysis of reinforced structures with composite materials is to understand the individual behaviour of each material and its interaction with the remaining ones. The present model is based on equilibrium and deformations compatibility requirements in and all parts of the repaired RC foundation beam, i.e., the reinforced concrete foundation beam, the composite plate and the adhesive layer. The theoretical predictions are compared with other existing solutions, By comparisons between the existing solutions and the present new solution enable a clear appreciation of the effects of various parameters such as the geometric characteristics and mechanical properties of the components of the repaired beam, as well as the geotechnical stresses of the soil are considered. This research is helpful for the understanding on mechanical behaviour of the interface and design of the composite-concrete hybrid structures.
