Abstract

Earth reinforcement by using geogrids as reinforcing materials are widely applied to several earth structures. The bearing capacity of geogrid reinforced foundation soils is usually examined on based on the rigid plasticity theory or Limit Equilibrium Method. Method of analysis such Limit Equilibrium Method provide no detail information about failure behaviour or strain which develop in the reinforcement or foundation. In this paper the analysis of failure behaviour of strip footing on geogrid-reinforced sand over a soft caly was investigated by using a numerical method. A series of finite element analyses were performed on a geogrid-reinforced strip footing over a soft clay including number of geogrid layers, length, depth. We effectively investigated the failure behaviour and improvement of bearing capacity on the reinforced foundation soil by using FEM program.

지오그리드 보강재는 여러 토구조물에 널리 적용되어진다. 일반적으로 보강토 기초의 극한지지력은 강소성이론 이나 한계평형이론에 의하여 설명된다. 강소성이론 이나 한계평형이론에서는 보강재 또는 기초지반에 발생되는 파괴변형이나 변형율에 대하여 정확한 해석을 얻을 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 연약층위의 보강토 기초지반에 대하여 수치해석방법을 이용하여 자세한 파괴변형거동에 대하여 조사하였다. 보강재의 개수, 길이, 깊이 등을 포함하여 연약층위의 보강토 기초에 대하여 일련의 수치해석을 수행하였다. 유한요소프로그램을 사용하여 보강토기초에 대한 파괴거동 및 지지력의 향상효과에 대한 유효성이 조사되었다.
