Abstract

The effects of synthetic fibers, cement content, and sand content on the flexural performance of cement-clay-sand mixtures has been evaluated through a flexural performance test with a third-point loading. Beam specimens for the flexural performance test were fabricated with a various amount of cement, sand, and synthetic fibers. Two types of fibers, PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol) and PP (Polypropylene) fibers, were employed in the test. The test results have exhibited that the factors considered in the test have significant effects on the flexural performance of the mixtures in several aspects. The flexural performance of the mixtures has been improved if the mixtures were reinforced with synthetic fibers. The flexural strength and the flexural toughness of the mixtures has been increased as the fiber content was increased. A multiple linear regression analysis has been performed to evaluate the effect of fiber content, cement dosage, and sand content on the flexural performance of the mixtures in terms of flexural strength and flexural toughness. Cement content and sand content were estimated as important factors to have an influence on the first-crack strength and the peak strength whereas the fiber content has the most significant influence on the post-crack behavior. The first-crack strength and the ultimate strength were increased as the cement content and the sand content were increased. As the fiber content was increased, the flexural toughness was increased.

시멘트-점토-모래 혼합토의 휨성능 개선을 위하여 합성섬유를 이용해서 보강한 섬유보강토에 대한 휨성능 시험을 실시하였다. 시멘트, 모래, 그리고 섬유가 혼합토의 휨성능에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 시멘트량(15%, 20%, 25%), 모래함량(0%, 10%, 20%), 섬유의 종류(PP, PVA)와 길이(6mm, 12mm), 섬유혼입량(0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%)을 조합하여 시험편을 제작하였다. 본 연구의 결과 시멘트 개량토를 섬유를 이용해서 보강하면 휨강도와 휨인성이 개선되는 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 휨성능 시험 결과에 대한 다중선형회귀분석 결과 시멘트량과 모래함량은 휨강도에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자인 것으로 나타났고, 반면에 섬유혼입량은 균열발생 후의 거동에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자인 것으로 나타났다.
