Abstract

This paper presents the modeling of geosynthetic-reinforced compacted soils and discusses the reinforcement effect arising from confining the dilatancy deformation of the soil by geosynthetics. A series of compressive shear tests for compacted sandy soil specimens wrapped by geosynthetics are carried out by quantitatively examining the geosynthetic-reinforcement effect, occurring from a confinement of the dilative deformation in compacted soils during shearing. In the test, the initial degree of compaction is changed for each series of sandy soil specimens so that each series has different degree of dilatancy characteristics. Herein, the axial forces working on the geosynthetics so as to prevent dilative deformation of compacted soils during shearing are measured. Furthermore, the elasto-plastic modeling of compacted soils and a rational determination procedure for input parameters needed in the elasto-plastic modeling are presented. And to describe the irreversible deformation characteristics of compacted soils during shearing, the subloading yielding surface (Hashiguchi (1989)) to the elasto-plastic modeling is introduced. Finally, the elasto-plastic finite element simulation is carried out and the geosynthetic-reinforcement effect is discussed.

본 연구에서는 토목섬유로 보강된 다짐토의 보강 메카니즘이 제시되며, 이러한 보강 메카니즘은 다짐토의 체적팽창(부의 다일러탄시)을 토목섬유에 의해 구속 억제하는 과정에서 생성되는 효과로 간주된다. 먼저, 실내실험을 위한 구체적인 방법으로서, 토목섬유의 보강효과를 정량적으로 파악하기 위하여 사질토를 다짐하여 공시체를 만들어 그 주위에 토목섬유를 설치한 후 전체적으로 압축전단시험을 실시하였다. 실험에서 초기 다짐도는 각각의 종류에 대하여 다일러탄시의 특성이 다르기 때문에 각각의 공시체에 대하여 변화시켰다. 여기서 전단시험 도중에 다짐토의 다일러탄시 변형을 방지하기 위한 토목섬유에 작용하는 축방향 힘들(axial forces)이 조사되었다. 또한 다짐토의 탄소성 모델과 이러한 모델에 필요한 초기 입력치 값의 결정 방법들이 제시된다. 마지막으로, 탄소성 구성 모델에서 항복 이전의 탄성 영역의 거동을 모사하기 위하여 Hashiguch(1989)가 제안한 subloading surface의 개념을 도입하여, 유한요소(FEM) 해석을 통해 얻어진 결과들을 실내시험의 결과와 비교 분석하였다.
