Abstract

Consolidated-drained triaxial compression tests were conducted to compare the stress-strain and volume change response of sands and clayey sands reinforced with discrete randomly distributed poly-propylene fibers. The influence of various test parameters such as fiber content (0.0%, 0.5% and 1.0% by weight), clay content (0%, 10% and 20% by weight), relative density (50% and 90%) and confining pressure (100 kPa, 200 kPa and 300 kPa) were investigated. It has been observed that addition of clay particles to the sands decreased the shear strength of samples. Also, increase in clay content reduced dilation and increased compressibility of the mixed soil. Addition of the fiber to both sands and clayey sands samples improved the shear strength and increased ductility and axial strain at failure point.

Abstract

In current paper the effects of surface unreinforced / reinforced sand layers coupled with and without single and group sand columns on the bearing capacity – settlement behavior of soft clays has been investigated. In this regard behavior of soft clay, clay + unreinforced / reinforced sand layer, clay + single / group sand piles and clay + unreinforced / reinforced sand layer + single / group piles samples has been assessed. Geogrid was adopted as the reinforcement, a circular plate 5cm in diameter as the loading surface and C.B.R. apparatus as the loading system. Results show that employing unreinforced / reinforced sand layers at a settlement ratio of 5% improves bearing capacity by 4 t0 7 times the soft clay. Coupling the surface unreinforced / reinforced sand layers with single / group sand piles further increases the bearing capacity by 7 to 9 times that of soft clay.

Abstract

Soil stabilization and reinforcement has long played an important role in civil engineering, especially in geotechnics, and over time and the need for a more robust and stable ground to withstand gravity and higher shear forces, has become particularly important. Also, in recent years, with the entry of the environment into the construction industry, with the aim of reducing the adverse effects of industrial waste and construction waste on people's living environment and preserving the environment for the future, in many cases reduces the economic costs of projects. In this research, granular soil is reinforced in two loose and semi-dense states using a waste material called ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). The experiments were performed without adding moisture, by weight percentage method and using CBR device. The results show that soil resistance increases significantly with the use of these additives and its effect on soil increases with decreasing soil specific gravity. Also, the optimal amount of additives in loose and semi-dense state is 2% additive and 1% additive, respectively.
