Abstract
In this study, a 6-line seaming method was used to connect woven geotextiles for soft ground reinforcement and select adhesives were added to the seaming part of the woven geotextile to improve the seam strength. Different reinforcement effects were observed according to the type of adhesive used. The strength retention of the seam strength was excellent when the cyanoacrylate adhesive was used in place of the epoxy adhesive. Since the reduction factor directly affects the tensile and seam strengths of the woven geotextile, it is essential to reinforce the seam using proper adhesives. The reduction factor and long-term performance of the adhesive agent are thought to contribute to the improvement of seam strength in woven geotextiles, and this was supported by the experimental results.
