Geotextile tubes are basically a huge sack filled with sand or dredged soil. Geotextile tubes are made of permeable woven or non-woven synthetic fibers (i.e., polyester or PET and polypropylene or PP). The geotextile tubes' performances in strength, dewatering, retaining solid particles and stacked stability have been studied extensively in the past. However, only little research has been done in the observation of the deformation behavior of geotextile tubes. In this paper, a large-scale apparatus for geotextile tube experiment is introduced. The apparatus is equipped with a slurry mixing station, pumping and delivery station, an observation station and a data station. For this study the large-scale apparatus was utilized in the studies regarding the stresses on the geotextile and the deformation behavior of the geotextile tube. Model tests were conducted using a custom-made woven geotextile tubes. Load cells placed at the inner belly of the geotextile tube to monitor the total soil pressure. Strain gauges were also placed on the outer skin of the tube to measure the geotextile strain. The pressure and strain sensors are attached to a data logger that sends the collected data to a desktop computer. The experiment results showed that the maximum geotextile strain occurs at the sides of the tube and the soil pressure distribution varies at each geotextile tube section.

본 연구에서는 부직포로 보강된 화강풍화토를 삼축압축시험장치를 이용해 보강재 배치간격에 따른 보강효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 보강토 시료는 일정한 간격의 공간에 준비된 부직포를 수평으로 삽입하여 형성하였다. 여기에 사용된 시료는 4종류이며, UR은 무보강, R-1은 부직포 1층, R-2는 2층, R-3은 3층으로 포설하였다. 이러한 실험결과로부터 부직포로 보강된 보강토는 강도 증가가 뚜렷하게 확인되었으며, 보강층수가 증가할수록 그 경향은 크게 나타났다. 이러한 실험결과로 향후 보강토구조물 설계에 있어서 이론적인 분석법에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Geotextile tube technology has been perceived as an economical solution for liquid sludge treatment, and analyzing its consolidation behavior is necessary to be able to evaluate the dewatering capabilities of large geotextile tubes filled with contaminated soil, tailings, sewage sludge, and so on. The objectives of this study are to present a method that can adequately convey the consolidation behavior of geotextile tubes filled with sewage sludge, and to investigate the effects of various geotextile tube consolidation parameters. In this study, variable coefficients of consolidation are utilized to analyze the consolidation process of geotextile tubes filled with sewage sludge. The consolidation solution was verified by comparing the measured and predicted data from a hanging bag test conducted in the literature. After verifying the proposed solution, the consolidation parameters of a geotextile tube composed of a woven polypropylene outer layer and a non-woven polypropylene layer filled sewage sludge were obtained. Using the obtained parameters, the consolidation behavior of a large-scale composite geotextiles tube was predicted.

In the applying of the reinforced soil method, it would be possible to obtain reinforcement effect more than before in terms of economic if high water content clayey soils could be used as embanking material. Futhermore it would be possible to expect the expansion of the applying field of reinforced soil method too. In this study, the authors describe the analysis results on the behavior of 5 meter high walls reinforced with nonwoven geotextile having the permeability and woven geotextile or geogrid having large tensile strength on the soil ground. The behavior of the walls were investigated for about 100 days after construction and the deformations of reinforcements, lateral soil pressures, vertical and horizontal displacements of the walls were examined by automatical measuring system. It was found that this kinds of reinforcing system might effectively improve the performance of the steep walls by virtue of the reciprocal action between soil and reinforcements, and it might be concluded that construction of the clayey reinforced soil walls with three kinds of geotextiles could be done successfully even on the comparative weak ground.

부직포에 의한 보강이 모래의 역학적 거동에 미치는 영향에 대해 검토하였다. 이 검토를 위해 보강모래와 무보강모래에 대한 일련의 삼축압축시험이 수행되었다. 표준사인 주문진사가 사용되었고, 부직포 보강재가 모래시료 속에 최대 3층 배치되었다. 분석결과 모래속의 부직포 배치는 모래의 전단강도를 크게 증가시켰고, 보강모래는 파괴시의 변형률도 증가하였다. 또한, 보강층수가 증가할수록 보강재에 의한 시료내 전단층의 확산 방지효과의 증가로 보다 연성화하고, 모래시료의 체적팽창 경향은 부직포 배치에 의해 억제됨이 밝혀졌다. 보강층수 증가에 의한 효과는 간극비 감소로 인한 효과와 같다.

Geotextile composites to improve the weather ability were composed of recycled polyester geotextile with carbon black as ultraviolet stabilizer and polypropylene geotextile by needle-punching method, and evaluated physical properties, ultraviolet resistance and chemical stability. Retention ratio of tensile properties of non woven polypropylene geotextiles were decreased about 50% by the exposed condition with ultraviolet but those of geotextile composites were slightly decreased than polypropylene geotextiles. Geotextile composites which have larger weights of polyester geotextile were more stable against ultraviolet. For chemical stability, the changes of tensile properties of geotextile composites were in the range of -20~＋10% at the various chemical conditions.

Because of the increasing need to use clayey soil as the backfill in reinforced soil structures and embankment material, nonwoven geotextiles with the drain capability have been receiving much attention. However, there are few studies of the deformation behavior of nonwoven geotextiles at geosynthetics reinforced soil structures in the field because the nonwoven geotextile, which has low tensile stiffness and higher deformability than geogrids and woven geotextiles, is difficult to measure its deformation by strain gauges and to prevent the water from infiltrating. This study proposes a new, more convenient method to measure the deformation behaviour of nonwoven geotextile by using a strain gauge; and examines the availability of the method by conducting laboratory tests and by applying it on two geosynthetics reinforced soil (GRS) walls in the field. A wide-width tensile test conducted under confining pressure of 7kPa showed that the local deformation of nonwoven geotextile measured with strain gauges has a similar pattern to the total deformation measured with LVDT. In the field GRS walls, nonwoven geotextile showed a larger deformation range than the woven geotextile and geogrid; however, the deformation patterns of these three reinforcement materials were similar. The function of strain gauges attached to nonwoven geotextile in the walls works normally for 16 months. Therefore, the method proposed in this study for measuring nonwoven geotextile deformation by using a strain gauge proved useful.

This paper is concerned with geotextiles bonded chemically with geogrid to form a geocomposite. Geotextiles, thermally bonded and non-woven, play an important role as a separator. Also, this study investigates the resistance to the application environment of geotextile composites. Here, numerous tests have been performed and it was revealed from experimental results that thermally bonded geotextile in geosynthetic composites showed superior characteristics to that manufactured from needle punched non-woven method in terms of tensile strength, tensile strain and high separation performance. It was noted from experiments that the geotextile prepared for separation purpose and manufactured in a thermal bonding method showed relatively low permittivity so that it could be used as a smooth separator. In addition, PVA geotextile/HDPE geomembrane composites were designed and manufactured to investigate the waste landfill related properties. Numerous experiments have been performed and experimental results were summarized to evaluate practical applicability of PVA geotextile/HDPE geomembrane composites. Among the properties of proposed geomembrane composites, evaluation has been focused on the investigation of mechanical properties, AOS (apparent opening size), permittivity and ultraviolet stability.
