Engineering properties of most polymers used in geosynthetics such as geogrid can be degraded by the chemical reaction (e.g., oxidization, ultraviolet rays, hydrolysis etc.), chemical and mechanical load, microorganism, and so on. In addition, polymer can be damaged by the compaction during construction, and the characteristic of tensile strength of polymer can be changed by the long-term creep effect. In this study, engineering properties of flexible geogrids which are manufactured by weaving/knitting the high-tenacity polymers such as polyester formed in a very open, grid-like configuration, coated with any one of a number of materials (e.g., PVC, latex, etc.), are investigated. Through the analysis of test results, the durability and the long-term design tensile strength of flexible geogrids are evaluated.

토목합성재료(geosynthetics)의 일종인 지오그리드(geogrids) 제품은 1979년 영국에서 개발된 이래 세계적으로 그 적용 용도와 수요가 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 토목합성 보강재이다. 일반적으로 지오그리드는 올레핀계 수지를 시트 상으로 압출하여 천공 및 연신하여 제조하는 플라스틱 타입 지오그리드와 고탄성 고강력 섬유로 제직 혹은 제편하고 이를 수지로 코팅하여 제조하는 텍스타일 타입 지오그리드의 두 가지로 분류된다. (중략)

지오그리드의 인장강도 특성은 시험온도, 시료길이, 변위측정방법, 인장속도 및 시험장치 등에 영향을 받는다. 지오그리드의 인장강도시험법은 ASTM 06637 및 ISO 10319에 규정되어 있다. 그러나 이 두 시험법은 인장속도 및 시료길이에서 다소간의 차이를 가진다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 많이 사용되고 있는 세 가지 종류의 지오그리드를 대상으로 일련의 광폭인장강도시험을 수행하여 시료길이 및 인장속도가 지오그리드의 광폭인장강도에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다.

Geogrid application that has proved to be an effective and economic method of reinforcing particles, is widely used in geotechnical engineering. The discrete element method (DEM) has been used to investigate the micro mechanics of the geogrid deformation and also the interlocking mechanism that cannot be easily studies in laboratory tests. Two types of realistically shaped geogrid models with square and triangle apertures were developed using parallel bonds in PFC3D. The calibration test simulations have demonstrated that the precisely shaped triangular geogrid model is also able to reproduce the deformation and strength characteristics of geogrids. Moreover, the square and triangular geogrid models were also used in DEM pull-out test simulations with idealized shape particle models for validation. The simulation results have been shown to provide good predictions of pullout force as a function of displacement especially for the initial 30 mm displacement. For the granular material of size 40 mm, both the experimental and DEM results demonstrate that the triangular geogrid of size 75 mm outperforms the square geogrid of size 65 mm. Besides, the simulations have given valuable insight into the interaction between particle and geogrid and also revealed similar deformation behavior of geogrids during pullout. Therefore, the DEM provides a tool which enable to model other possible prototype geogrid and investigate their performance before manufacture.

In this paper, unreinforced and geogrid-reinforced soil foundations were modeled by discrete element method and this performed under surface strip footing loads. The effects of horizontal position of geogrid, vertical position, thickness, number, confining pressure have been investigated on the footing settlement and propagation of tensile force along the geogrids. Also, interaction between rectangular tunnel and strip footing with and without presence of geogrid layer has been analyzed. Experimental results of the literature were used to validation of relationships between the numerically achieved footing pressure-settlement for foundations of reinforced and unreinforced soil. Models and micro input parameters which used in the numerical modelling of reinforced and unreinforced soil tunnel were similar to parameters which were used in soil foundations. Model dimension was 1000 mm* 600 mm. Normal and shear stiffness of soils were 5*10⁵ and 2.5 *10⁵ N/m, respectively. Normal and shear stiffness of geogrid were 1*10⁹ and 1*10⁹ N/m, respectively. Loading rate was 0.001 mm/sec. Micro input parameters used in numerical simulation gain by try and error. In addition of the quantitative tensile force propagation along the geogrids, the footing settlements were visualized. Due to collaboration of three layers of geogrid reinforcements the bearing capacity of the reinforced soil tunnel was greatly improved. In such practical reinforced soil formations, the qualitative displacement propagations of soil particles in the soil tunnel and the quantitative vertical displacement propagations along the soil layers/geogrids represented the geogrid reinforcing impacts too.

지오그리드의 장기설계 인장강도는 크리프 변형, 시공시 손상 및 환경적 요인(온도, 화학적 손상, 생물학적 손상)에 영향을 받는다. 특히, 크리프 변형 및 시공 시 손상이 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 요인으로서 반영된다. 보강토구조물에 대한 대부분의 현행 설계법에서는, 이들 영향요인을 각각 산정하여 이를 장기인장강도 산정에 반영하고 있다. 즉, 이러한 방법에서는 지오그리드의 시공 중 손상과 크리프 변형의 복합효과가 장기 설계인장강도 산정에 어떤 영향을 미치는 가에 대한 검토가 되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 지오그리드의 시공 중 손상과 크리프 변형의 복합효과가 지오그리드의 장기인장강도 산정에 영향을 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위한 일련의 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 다양한 지오그리드를 대상으로 성토흙 종류에 따른 현장 내시공성시험을 수행하였고, 지오그리드 원시료와 시공중 손상을 입은 시료를 대상으로한 크리프시험을 수행하였다. 연구결과 두 영향인자의 복합효과를 고려하여 산정한 지오그리드의 인장강도 감소계수가 현행 설계법에 의해 산정된 감소계수보다 작은 것으로 나타났다.

Geosynthetics are commonly used for filtering, layer separations, drainages, cutoffs, and reinforcements. In highway constructions, geotextile mats have been used for the purposes of vehicle trafficability, separations and embankment reinforcements. Geosynthetics are utilized as prefabricated vertical drains and also used as horizontal drainage layers substituted for the sand mat. Geogrids, essential element of reinforced retaining walls, are sometimes spread under the highway pavement. Besides various usage mentioned above, many type of them are also used as drainage of backfill in culverts and bridge abutments. In this paper, problems of specifications and regulations concerning mostly used geotextiles are specifically dealt with from the practical aspects of field engineering and efforts are given upon improvement of them. Especially, relevant sections of "Standard Specifications for the Highway Construction by Korea Highway Corporation"are being revised and these are introduced in detail.

Geogrid may be damaged during its installation in the filed. The installation damage mainly depends on two factors, which are materials used and construction activities. Materials relate to geogrid and soils, and construction activities are mainly related to installation of geogrid and compaction of soils. This paper describes the results of a series of field tests, which were conducted to assess the installation damage of the various geogrids according to different fill materials. After field installation damage tests, the change in tensile strength of geogrids was determined from wide width tensile tests using both damaged and undamaged specimens.
