In this paper, considering the plain strain conditions, a numerical study has been conducted to investigate the behavior of
multi layer geosynthetic-reinforced granular bed overlying a soft soil using the Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua (FLAC)
program. The granular fill, soft soil, and geosynthetic reinforcements are considered as linear elastic materials. The geosynthetic
reinforcements are modeled as cable elements fully bonded with the surrounding soil, thus neglecting any slip. The results
obtained from the present investigation showed very close agreement when compared with the results of finite element analysis
and lumped parameter modeling. The distribution of vertical, lateral and shear stresses in the soil are greatly affected as
the number of reinforcement layers is increased. If the tensile stiffness of geosynthetic layers increases and its value is
no more than 4,000–5,000 kN/m, the settlement of the reinforced foundation decreases significantly. The reduction in settlement
is insignificant when the tensile strength of the geosynthetics exceed the above value. 相似文献

Response of multilayer geosynthetic-reinforced bed resting on soft soil with stone columns 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
In the present study, a mechanical model has been developed to study the behavior of multilayer geosynthetic-reinforced granular fill over stone column-reinforced soft soil. The granular fill and geosynthetic reinforcement layers have been idealized by Pasternak shear layer and rough elastic membranes, respectively. The Kelvin–Voight model has been used to represent the time-dependent behavior of saturated soft soil. The stone columns are idealized by stiffer springs and assumed to be linearly elastic. The nonlinear behavior of the soft soil and granular fill is considered. The effect of consolidation of soft soil due to inclusion of the stone columns on settlement response has also been included in the model. Plane strain conditions are considered for the loading and reinforced foundation soil system. An iterative finite difference scheme is applied for obtaining the solution and results are presented in nondimensional form. It has been observed that if the soft soil is improved with stone columns, the multilayer reinforcement system is less effective as compared to single layer reinforcement to reduce the total settlement as there is considerable reduction in the total settlement due to stone column itself. Multilayer reinforcement system is effective for reducing the total settlement when stone columns are not used. However, multilayer reinforcement system is effective to transfer the stress from soil to stone column. The differential settlement is also slightly reduced due to application of multiple geosynthetic layers as compared to the single layer reinforcement system. 相似文献

Axi-symmetric Analysis of Geosynthetic-reinforced Granular Fill-soft Soil System with Group of Stone Columns 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
The paper presents a mechanical model to predict the behavior of geosynthetic-reinforced granular fill resting over soft soil
improved with group of stone columns subjected to circular or axi-symmetric loading. The saturated soft soil has been idealized
by spring-dashpot system. Pasternak shear layer and rough elastic membrane represent the granular fill and geosynthetic reinforcement
layer, respectively. The stone columns are idealized by stiffer springs. The nonlinear behavior of granular fill and soft
soil is considered. Consolidation of the soft soil due to inclusion of stone columns has also been included in the model.
The results obtained by using the present model when compared with the reported results obtained from laboratory model tests
shows very good agreement. The effectiveness of geosynthetic reinforcement to reduce the maximum and differential settlement
and transfer the stress from soft soil to stone columns is highlighted. It is observed that the reduction of settlement and
stress transfer process are greatly influenced by stiffness and spacing of the stone columns. It has been further observed
that for both geosynthetic-reinforced and unreinforced cases, the maximum settlement does not change if the ratio between
spacing and diameter of stone columns is greater than 4. 相似文献

In the present paper, soil-structure interaction analysis of an infinite beam resting on extensible geosynthetic reinforced
earth beds has been carried out for an applied load moving with constant velocity. The viscous damping of the soil-foundation
system has been given due consideration in the analytical procedure. The infinite beam has been treated as resting on a granular
fill layer overlying the naturally occurring weak soil layer. Geosynthetic layer has been provided in the granular fill layer
and has been considered as extensible. This extensible nature has been incorporated with the help of no slip and the compatibility
conditions at the interface between reinforcing layer and the neighboring soil. These conditions help in eliminating the two
interfacial shear stress parameters and in considering the tensile modulus of geosynthetic layer in the analysis. The influence
of various parameters, like magnitude and velocity of applied moving load, viscous damping, relative stiffness of granular
fill and tensile modulus of geosynthetic layer, on the response of soil-foundation system has been studied. It has been observed
that all these parameters affect the response significantly, however, the effect of velocity of moving load and viscous damping
has been found to be more significant especially at higher velocities. 相似文献

Capturing strain localization in reinforced soils 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
Lade’s single hardening soil model with Cosserat rotation embodied in the finite element method is employed to investigate
the behavior of geosynthetic reinforced soils with special attention to the development of shear banding. The ability of the
finite element model to detect shear banding in a reinforced soil is examined against three high quality small-scale laboratory
plane strain tests on Toyoura sand with and without reinforcement. These three tests were chosen because of the clear failure
surfaces that developed in the soil during loading. The FEM analyses were able to reasonably simulate the plane strain laboratory
tests including both unreinforced and reinforced cases. The FEM analyses gave reasonably good agreement with the experimental
results in terms of global stress–strain relationships and shear band occurrences. Furthermore, and based on FE analyses of
a hypothetical geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) retaining wall, it is shown that the geosynthetic reinforcements are very
effective in hindering the formation of shear bands in GRS retaining walls when small spacing between the reinforcement layers
was used. When used properly, the geosynthetic reinforcements made the soil behave as a truly reinforced mass of considerable
stiffness and strength. 相似文献

Experimental Study of Bearing Capacity of Granular Soils,Reinforced with Innovative Grid-Anchor System 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The pull-out resistance of reinforcing elements is one of the most significant factors in increasing the bearing capacity
of geosynthetic reinforced soils. In this research a new reinforcing element that includes elements (anchors) attached to
ordinary geogrid for increasing the pull-out resistance of reinforcements is introduced. Reinforcement therefore consists
of geogrid and anchors with cubic elements that attached to the geogrid, named (by the authors) Grid-Anchor. A total of 45
load tests were performed to investigate the bearing capacity of square footing on sand reinforced with this system. The effect
of depth of the first reinforcement layer, the vertical spacing, the number and width of reinforcement layers, the distance
that anchors are effective, effect of relative density, low strain stiffness and stiffness after local shear were investigated.
Laboratory tests showed that when a single layer of reinforcement is used there is an optimum reinforcement embedment depth
for which the bearing capacity is the greatest. There also appeared to be an optimum vertical spacing of reinforcing layers
for multi-layer reinforced sand. The bearing capacity was also found to increase with increasing number of reinforcement layer,
if the reinforcement were placed within a range of effective depth. The effect of soil density also is investigated. Finally
the results were compared with the bearing capacity of footings on non-reinforced sand and sand reinforced with ordinary geogrid
and the advantages of the Grid-Anchor were highlighted. Test results indicated that the use of Grid-Anchor to reinforce the
sand increased the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow square footing by a factor of 3.0 and 1.8 times compared to that for
un-reinforced soil and soil reinforced with ordinary geogrid, respectively. 相似文献

Bearing capacity of two close strip footings on soft clay reinforced with geotextile 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
For many years ago, the beneficial effects of using reinforcement to improve the property of soil have been demonstrated. Over the last three decades, the use of polymeric reinforcement such as geotextile has increased in geotechnical engineering. Among the possible applications, earth reinforcement techniques have become useful and economical techniques to solve many problems in geotechnical engineering practice, such as improve the bearing capacity and settlement characteristics of the footing. This research presents the effect of geotextile inclusion on the bearing capacity of two close strip footings located at the surface of soft clay. A broad series of finite element analysis were performed on two footings with width of 1 and 2 m using two-dimensional plane strain model using the computer code Plaxis (ver 8). Only one type of soft clay was used for the analysis, and the soil was represented by two yielding criteria including hardening soil model and Mohr–Coulomb model, while reinforcement was represented by elastic element, and at the interface between the reinforcements and soft clay, interface elements have been used. A wide range of boundary conditions, including unreinforced and reinforced cases, was analyzed by varying parameters such as number of geotextile layers, vertical spacing of layers, depth to topmost layer of geotextile, tensile stiffness of geotextile layers, and distance of between two footings. From numerical results, the bearing capacity ratio and the interference factor of the foundations have been estimated. On the basis of the analysis performed in this research, it can be concluded that there is a best distance between footings and optimum depth for topmost layer to achieve maximum bearing capacity for closely spaced strip footings. The bearing capacity was also found to increase with increasing number of reinforcement layers if the reinforcements were placed within a range of effective depths. In addition, the analysis indicated that increasing reinforcement stiffness beyond a threshold value does not result in a further increase in the bearing capacity. 相似文献

The use of geosynthetic-encased stone columns as a method for soft soil treatment is extensively used to increase the bearing capacity and reduce the settlement of raft foundations and the foundation of structures like embankments. Pre-strain is an effect occurring in the encasement during stone column installation due to the compaction of the stone material. The present study uses the finite element program Plaxis to perform a numerical analysis of the soft clay bed reinforced by geosynthetic-encased stone columns. An idealization is proposed for simulation of installation of geosynthetic-encased stone columns in soft clay based on the unit-cell concept. In the analyses, initially, the validity of the analysis of the single column-reinforced soil in the unit-cell model was performed through comparison with the group columns. Then, by considering a unit-cell model, the finite element analyses were carried out to evaluate the stiffness of the reinforced ground to estimate the settlement. The results of the analyses show that the improved stiffness of the encased stone column is not only due to the confining pressure offered by the geosynthetic after loading, but the initial strain of the geosynthetic that occurred during installation also contributes to the enhancement of the stiffness of the stone column and the reduction of the settlement. 相似文献

The present study pertains to the development of a mechanical model for predicting the behavior of granular bed‐stone column‐reinforced soft ground. The granular layer that has been placed over the stone column‐reinforced soft soil has been idealized by the Pasternak shear layer. The saturated soft soil has been idealized by the Kelvin–Voigt model to represent its time‐dependent behavior and the stone columns are idealized by stiffer Winkler springs. The nonlinear behavior of the granular fill has been incorporated in this study by assuming a hyperbolic variation of shear stress with shear strain as in one reported literature. Similarly, for soft soil it has also been assumed that load‐settlement variation is hyperbolic in nature. The effect of consolidation of the soft soil due to inclusion of the stone columns has also been included in the model. Plane‐strain conditions are considered for the loading and foundation soil system. The numerical solutions are obtained by a finite difference scheme and the results are presented in a non‐dimensional form. Parametric studies for a uniformly loaded strip footing have been carried out to show the effects of various parameters on the total as well as differential settlement and stress concentration ratio. It has been observed that the presence of granular bed on the top of the stone columns helps to transfer stress from soil to stone columns and reduces maximum as well as differential settlement.

This paper presents a method to evaluate reliability for internal stability of reinforced soil structures using reliability
based design optimization. Using limit equilibrium method and assuming the failure surface to be logarithmic spiral, analysis
is conducted to maintain internal stability against both tensile and pullout failure of the reinforcements. Properties of
backfill soil and strength of the geosynthetic reinforcement are considered as random variables. For the seismic conditions,
reliability indices of all the geosynthetic layers in relation to tension and pullout failure modes are determined for different
magnitudes of seismic accelerations both in the horizontal and vertical directions, surcharge load and design strength of
the reinforcement. The efforts have been made to obtain the number of layers, pullout length and total length of the reinforcement
at each level for the desired target reliability index values against tension and pullout modes of failure. The influence
of horizontal and vertical earthquake acceleration, surcharge load, design strength of the reinforcement, coefficient of variation
of soil friction angle and design strength of the reinforcement on number of layers, pullout length and total length of the
reinforcement needed for the stability at each level is discussed. 相似文献

The laboratory model tests and numerical analyses have been performed on reinforced granular piles installed in very soft clay. The granular piles were reinforced with geosynthetic in the form of vertical encasement, horizontal strips and combined vertical-horizontal reinforcement. The short term-displacement control model tests were carried out either only a granular pile loaded or with an entire area loaded. The laboratory results in the form of vertical load intensity-settlement behaviour were compared with that obtained from FEM software, PLAXIS 3D. The results indicated significant improvement in ultimate load intensity and stiffness of treated ground due to inclusion of geosynthetic. 相似文献

The use of geosynthetic to reinforce soft-soils or peat in order to improve the load-settlement response is quite common. In such cases a layer of engineered fill, reinforced with a geosynthetic, is placed on the soft ground and the load is supported by the granular fill. In the present paper a procedure is outlined for the analysis of such a geothynthetic reinforced soil system. The granular fill is assumed to be rigid-strain hardening plastic and the soft soil is modeled by a Winkler type foundation. The grid is considered to be “rough” on its surfaces and be linearly elastic when subjected to tensile stresses. A simple transform function is used in the analysis. Through the analysis performed the influence of various factors such as the degree of overconsolidation (through compaction) of the fill, its dilatational properties, and the tangent modulus of the geogrid are investigated and discussed. 相似文献

It is common to use geosynthetics to reinforce soft-soils or peat with a view to improve their load — settlement response. A new foundation model element — the rough membrane, is proposed to represent the response of the geofabric. Combining this element with Winkler springs and Pasternak shear layers to model respectively the soft soil and the granular fills, a new foundation model is presented for the geosynthetic — granular fill — soft soil system. Analysis of results at small displacement indicates the effect of granular fill to be more and significant than that of the membrane thus confirming large scale model test results of Jarrett and results based on F.E.M. (Boutrup and Holtz). The effect of the membrane increases with the load or decreasing soil stiffness. 相似文献

The present study pertains to the development of a foundation model for predicting the behavior of geosynthetic reinforcement railway track system rested on soft clay subgrade. The ballast and sub‐ballast layers have been idealized by Pasternak shear layer. The geosynthetic layer is represented by a stretched rough elastic membrane. Burger model has been used to characterize the soft clay subgrade. Numerical solutions have been obtained by adopting the finite difference scheme combined with non‐dimensioning the governing equations of the proposed model. The results confirm that the present model is quite capable of predicting the time‐dependent settlement response of geosynthetic reinforcement railway track system placed on soft clay subgrade. The surface settlement profile and mobilized tensile load of geosynthetics has been evaluated by considering variation in the wheel load, sleeper width, thickness of ballast and sub‐ballast layers and shear modulus of ballast and sub‐ballast layers. It has been observed that an increase in the sleeper width by 24% results in the reduction in central settlement and mobilized tensile load by 6.5% and 20.1%, respectively. It was found that with a 50% increase in the thickness of the ballast layer, the central settlement has decreased by 7.3% and the mobilized tension at the zone of maximum curvature has increased by 24.6%. However, with an increase in the thickness of the sub‐ballast layer, a considerable reduction in both central settlement and the mobilization of tension on geosynthetic has been noticed. The pattern of variation of settlement and mobilized tension for an increase in the shear modulus of ballast and sub‐ballast material was found to be almost similar.

Probabilistic stability analyses of constructed wrapped-face reinforced slopes (or embankments) using frictional soils were carried out using the random finite element method (RFEM). Soil properties reported in the literature for unsaturated frictional fills compacted to different densities were used in the simulations. Bar elements were added to the RFEM code to simulate extensible geosynthetic reinforcement layers and the Davis approach was used to improve numerical stability for purely frictional soil slopes at collapse. The influence of isotropic and anisotropic spatially variable soil strength was investigated and shown to have a large influence on the variation of maximum mobilised tensile forces in reinforcement layers for the steep 5 m-high slopes in the study. The influence of fill placed at different layer thickness and compacted to different levels was simulated by adjusting the soil strength and unit weight, and the vertical strength correlation length in the anisotropic spatially variable strength field used in each slope realisation. Numerical results showed that vertical strength correlation lengths approaching the magnitude of fill lift heights can control the probability of failure for reinforced slopes constructed with weak fills placed in lift heights close to but less than the wrapped reinforcement spacing used in the study. 相似文献
