Abstract

Recently, there are an increasing number of studies on the method of wrapping the outer wall of granular piles with geosynthetic fibers such as geotextile or geogrid that has a certain level of tensile strength as an alternative method for the ground improvement techniques. In this study, triaxial compression tests are performed on the sand and clay specimen encased with various textiles to evaluate the reinforcing effect with regard to the tensile strength of the textile. Furthermore, triaxial compression tests are performed on the clay specimen inserted by sand only and sand encased with geosynthetics to compare behavioral differences between the conventional sand compaction pile and geosynthetic encased sand pile with regard to the replacement ratio, ${\alpha}_s$ and the tensile strength of the geosynthetics. Based on the experimental results, the strength enhancement due to the textile is affected by the longitudinal tensile strength rather than the transverse one of the applied textile. The effect of the confinement by the textile encasement results in the large increase of the cohesions. The overall behaviors, such as shear strength, pore pressure parameter at failure and stress ratio, of the geosynthetic encased sand pile is quite different from those of the conventional sand compaction pile.

기존의 연약지반 개량공법의 대체공법으로 유럽과 국내에서는 소정의 인장강도를 갖는 토목섬유로 골재말뚝의 외벽을 감싸는 공법에 대한 연구가 많이 증가하였다. 이 연구에서는 이와 같은 공법에서 골재말뚝의 외벽을 감싸는 원주형 섬유의 인장강도에 따른 지반보강 효과 및 보강 메커니즘 등을 파악하기 위하여 모래-팩, 점토-팩 복합토에 대한 삼축압축시험을 실시하였다. 또한 모래다짐말뚝공법을 모사하는 모래-점토 복합토와 모래다짐말뚝을 원주형 섬유로 보강한 모래-점토-팩 복합토에 대한 삼축압축시험을 실시하여 치환율(${\alpha}_s$)과 인장강도($T_{\alpha}$)에 따른 보강효과와 거동의 차이를 비교하였다. 시험결과 섬유의 보강효과로 인한 강도증가는 섬유의 수평방향 인장강도와 밀접한 관계가 있고, 섬유에 의한 구속응력 증가효과(${\Delta}{\sigma}_3$)에 의해서 점착절편(c, c')의 증가효과가 매우 크게 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 모래다짐말뚝이 토목섬유로 보강된 경우(모래-팩-점토)와 그렇지 않은 경우(모래-점토)를 비교해 볼 때 삼축압축시 전단거동(전단강도, 파괴시 간극수압계수, 응력비 등)에 있어서 큰 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.
