Traditional methods of earth reinforcement consist of introducing strips, fabrics, or grids into an earth mass. Recently, discrete fibers are simply added and mixed with the soil, much the same as cement, lime or other additives. The advantages of randomly distributed fibers is the maintenance of strength isotropy, low decrease in post-peak shear strength and high stability at failure. In this study, new composite reinforcement structures which consist of geotextile and randomly distributed discrete fibers were examined their engineering properties, such as shear strength of the composite reinforced soil and permeability of short fiber reinforced soil. The increments of shear strength of composite reinforced soils were the sum of increments by fiber and woven geotextile, respectively. The permeability of short fiber reinforced soil was increased with fiber mixing ratio.

Sand compaction pile (SCP) method is composed of compacted sand pile inserted into the soft clay deposit by displacement method. SCP-reinforced ground is composite soil which consists of the SCP and the surrounding soft soil. When a surcharge load is applied on composite ground, time-dependent behavior occurs in the soft soil due to consolidation according to radial flow toward SCP and stress transfer also takes place between the SCP and the soft soil. This paper presents the numerical results of cylindrical composite ground that was conducted to investigate consolidation characteristics and the stress transfer mechanism of SCP-reinforced composite ground. The results show that the consolidation of soft clay has a significant effect on the stress transfer mechanism and stress concentration ratio of composite ground

The development of both economical and consistent structure is strongly required for the whole reorganization of the railway network in Korea. Retaining wall is one of the major structures in the vicinity of the railway, which needs improving its external appearance and stability. Therefore, this study presents a new type of retaining wall, so called short-fiber composite reinforced retaining wall, as an alternative of retaining walls, which can be used for constructing the slope and roadbed soil structures. The results from real-scale test and dynamic numerical analysis for developed new one, which helps both the improvement of the external appearance and also the optimum use of the limited space near the railway, show excellent performance. On the basis of these results, it is judged that short-fiber composite reinforced retaining wall has the advantages of choosing the front wall freely and having a chance to use any low quality soil as backfill.

As a fundamental study to develop the retaining wall of new type, short-fibers are mixed with soils and a series of compaction tests and triaxial compression tests for short-fiber reinforced soils are performed. From the results of compaction tests, optimum moisture content is increased and maximum dry unit weight is decreased with fiber mixing ratio. When 60mm fibrillated fiber of 0.2$\%$ mixing ratio is added to SM soil, strength increment of short-fiber reinforced soil is above 1.2 times compared to soil only. Strength increment shows maximum value for composite reinforced soil, namely, soil+short-fiber+planar reinforcement. But in case of mixing with ML soil and short-fiber, the strength of short-fiber reinforced soil is nearly the same as soil only. Internal angle of short-fiber reinforced soil is increased about $2\~3$ degrees and cohesion is also increased above 10kPa compared to soil only. Therefore, it is judged that short-fiber is a good material to strengthen the soil.

많은 급경사 보강성토 또는 보강토벽 구조물의 장점은 토지 이용의 효율성이나 현장에서 사용하는 공법 비용들의 경제성 때문에 점점 높아지고 있다. 보강토체의 인장력을 이용한 기존 보강토옹벽 공법들은 자연사면의 경사보다 훨씬 급경사에 설계할 수 있도록 발전해 왔다. 지반개량재를 사용하여 급경사의 전면벽체를 보강한 방법은 최근에 상당히 효율적인 토지 사용을 위해 많이 공사되고 있다. 본 연구는 지오그리드를 매설한 뒷채움 흙과 지반개량재로 보강한 전면벽체로 구성한 복합보강토 옹벽을 소개한다. 급경사를 이루고 있는 전면벽체의 안정성을 위해 현장시공 계측과 수치해석으로 비교 검증과 분석하였다. 또한 현장계측은 14개월 동안의 변위측정으로 안정성에 대한 관측으로 수치해석과 비교하였다. 현장시험 시공에서 일반적인 수직하중에 의한 수평거동은 최대 15mm(대략 0.2%)가 발생하였지만 안전범위인 0.5% 이내를 보여주고 있다. 이러한 결과들을 토대로 최대수평변위의 안정성의 신뢰도와 지반개량재 벽면공의 타당성에 대한 가능성을 검증하였다.

This paper presents a careful theoretical investigation into interfacial stresses in reinforced concrete foundation beam repairing with composite plate. The essential issue in the analysis of reinforced structures with composite materials is to understand the individual behaviour of each material and its interaction with the remaining ones. The present model is based on equilibrium and deformations compatibility requirements in and all parts of the repaired RC foundation beam, i.e., the reinforced concrete foundation beam, the composite plate and the adhesive layer. The theoretical predictions are compared with other existing solutions, By comparisons between the existing solutions and the present new solution enable a clear appreciation of the effects of various parameters such as the geometric characteristics and mechanical properties of the components of the repaired beam, as well as the geotechnical stresses of the soil are considered. This research is helpful for the understanding on mechanical behaviour of the interface and design of the composite-concrete hybrid structures.

This paper describes the compaction and strength behavior of black cotton soil (BC soil) reinforced with coir fibers. Coir used in this study is processed fiber from the husk of coconuts. BC soil reinforced with coir fiber shows only marginal increase in the strength of soil, inhibiting its use for ground improvement. In order to further increase the strength of the soil-coir fiber combination, optimum percentage of 4% of lime is added. The effect of aspect ratio, percentage fiber on the behavior of the composite soil specimen with curing is isolated and studied. It is found that strength properties of optimum combination of BC soil-lime specimens reinforced with coir fibers is appreciably better than untreated BC soil or BC soil alone with coir fiber. Lime treatment in BC soil improves strength but it imparts brittleness in soil specimen. BC soil treated with 4% lime and reinforced with coir fiber shows ductility behavior before and after failure. An optimum fiber content of 1% (by weight) with aspect ratio of 20 for fiber was recommended for strengthening BC soil.

SCP공법(Sand Compaction Pile Method)은 안벽구조물 하부 지반이 연약할 경우에 압밀침하 속도를 증가시키고, 침하를 감소시키며, 지지력을 증대시키기 위하여 널리 적용되어 왔다. SCP 개량지반은 연약지반에 타설된 모래말뚝과 주변 연약지반으로 구성된 복합지반을 형성한다. 이와 같은 복합지반의 설계 및 해석 시 가장 중요한 요소는 치환율에 따른 응력분담비이다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석기법을 사용하여 복합지반에 대한 응력분담비 특성을 검토하였다. 치환율에 따른 응력분담비는 상수 값이 아니라 연약지반의 깊이, 압밀과정에 의존한다. 또한 하중재하 단계에 응력분담비는 복합지반의 응력전이 특성에 의하여 증가하며, 재하 완료 직후에는 치환율에 따라 2.5∼12의 값을 가진다. 그러나 과잉간극수압이 소산되어 점토지반의 유효응력이 증가되는 압밀과정 동안에는 감소하여 압밀 완료 후에는 치환율에 관계없이 2.5∼6정도 범위로 수렴한다.

In this research, vibration and smart control analysis of a concrete foundation reinforced by $SiO_2$ nanoparticles and covered by piezoelectric layer on soil medium is investigated. The soil medium is simulated with spring constants and the Mori-Tanaka low is used for obtaining the material properties of nano-composite structure and considering agglomeration effects. With considering first order shear deformation theory, the total potential energy of system is calculated and by means of Hamilton's principle in three displacement directions and electric potential, the six coupled equilibrium equations are obtained. Also, based an analytical method, the frequency of system is calculated. The effects of applied voltage, volume percent and agglomeration of $SiO_2$ nanoparticles, soil medium and geometrical parameters of structure are shown on the frequency of system. Results show that with applying negative voltage, the frequency of structure is increased.
