The Influence of Initial Stress Ratio on the Stress~Strain Characteristics of Geosynthetics Reinforced Clayey Soil

The stress~strain characteristics of geosynthetics reinforced clayey soil were investigated by triaxial compression tests. All the tests were peformed either on unreinforced or reinforced soils under fully drained condition after having been consolidated isotropically or anisotropically to the required level of effective stresses by the small increment of 0.05kgf/$cm^2$. The anisotropically consolidated drained tests were performed to simulate the in-situ condition of reinforced soil structures such as reinforced soil wall, abutment and embankment which are generally in the anisotrpic state. From a series of tests it was ffund that the behavior of the anisotropically consolidated reinforced clayey soils was very different from stress~strain characteristics of consolidated reinferced clayey soils. It was found especially that the initial Young's moduli of anisotropically consolidated reinforced clayey soils were higher than those of isotropically consolidated reinforced clayey soils. It was found also that the reinforcement effect in anisotropically consolidated reinforced soils developed at a much lower level of axial strain(0.01%) compared with isotropically consolidated ones(about 1.0~5.0%).

토목섬유 보강점성토의 응력~변형특성에 미치는 초기응력비의 영향

토목섬유 보강점성토의 응력~변형특성을 삼축압축시험을 통하여 조사하였다. 모든 시험은0.05kgf/$cm^2$의 낮은 응력 증분으로 필요한 유효응력 수준까지 등방압밀 혹은 이방압밀한 후 배수조건으로 수행되었다. 보강토벽, 보강토교대, 보강성토와 같은 토류 구조물의 경우 일반적으로 이방응력 상태에 있으며, 이방압밀 배수전단시험의 경우 이러한 현장조건을 재현하기 위한 것이다. 일련의 시험결과로부터 이방압밀 보강점성토의 거동은 등방압밀 보강점성토의 응력~변형특성과 매우 상이한 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 이방압밀 보강점성토의 초기변형계수의 경우 등방압밀의 경우에 비하여 현저히 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 등방압밀의 경우(약 1.0~5.0%)에 비하여 이방압밀의 경우 매우 낮은 축변형률(0.01%)에서 보강효과가 발생하였다.
