Uniaxial compression behavior of geotextile encased stone columns

The bearing capacity and failure mechanism of encased stone columns are affected by many factors such as encasement length, relative density, strength and stiffness of the encasement material. In soft soils where surrounding soil pressure is low, especially in the top section, the stone columns may be close to a uniaxial compression state, where the uniaxial compression strength controls the bearing capacity of the stone columns. A series of large-scale triaxial tests on ordinary stone columns and uniaxial tests on geotextile encased stone columns have been performed. The stone columns were 300?mm in diameter and 600?mm in height. Samples of four different relative densities, and five types of geotextiles were used in the tests to study the effect of initial void ratio and encasing materials on the uniaxial compression behavior of the stone columns. The results show the uniaxial compressive strength of the encased stone columns is not affected by the initial void ratio but mainly by the tensile strength of the encasing geotextiles. The stress strain curves of the encased stone columns under uniaxial loading condition are nearly liner before failure, which is similar to the tensile behavior of the geotextiles.     

Comparison of bearing capacity of a strip footing on sand with geocell and with planar forms of geotextile reinforcement

Comprehensive results from laboratory model tests on strip footings supported on the geocell and planar reinforced sand beds with the same characteristics of geotextile are presented. The various parameters studied in this testing program include the reinforcement width, the number of planar layers of geotextile and height of the geocell below the footing base. Contrary to other researches, the performance of the geocell and planar reinforcement is investigated at the range of low to medium settlement level, similar to those of interest in practice. The results show that the efficiency of reinforcement was decreased by increasing the number of the planar reinforcement layers, the height of the geocell reinforcement and the reinforcement width. For the same mass of geotextile material used in the tests at the settlement level of 4%, the maximum improvement in bearing capacity (IF) and percentage reduction in footing settlement (PRS) were obtained as 2.73 and 63% with the provision of geocell, respectively, while these values compare with 1.88 and 47% for the equivalent planar reinforcement. On the whole, the results indicate that, for the same quantity of geotextile material, the geocell reinforcement system behaves much stiffer and carries greater loading and settles less than does the equivalent planar reinforcement system. Therefore, a specified improvement in bearing pressure and footing settlement can be achieved using a lesser quantity of geocell material compared to planar geotextile.

Influence of acidic environment and temperature on mechanical behavior of cement-treated Masado and numerical modeling with a thermoelasto-viscoplastic model

Cement-treated Masado (CTM), as a common cement-mixed geomaterial, is usually only used in ground improvement for temporal structures in Japan. However, in recent years, it has been used for new permanent structures, such as the supporting ground of pile foundations and direct foundations. Masado, a completely decomposed granite, is distributed widely in Japan. However, the long-term stability of CMT has not been thoroughly investigated, despite that it has the risk of exposure to environmental changes in acid conditions and temperature, which are very common in volcanic areas in Japan. In this study, to investigate the influence of acidic environments and temperatures on the mechanical behavior of CMT, a systematic test program using uniaxial and triaxial tests was conducted on CMT specimens under different acidic environments, temperatures, and confining pressures. To avoid the extra influence of water on the mechanical behavior of CMT, a special double-cell was designed within the pressure chamber of the triaxial loading device so that the volumetric strain of the specimens completely sealed with rubber sleeve can be accurately measured in triaxial compression and creep tests. In addition, the chemical components of all the tested specimens are investigated by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry analysis to identify the influence of calcium leaching and hydration reactions in the curing period. Combined with the influence of the initial confining pressure, the influence of the acidic environment and temperature on the strength and dilatancy of CMT is carefully investigated. Based on the test results, a relation between the stress ratio at the critical state and the influential factors, including the initial confining pressure, acidic environment and temperature, is proposed by regression analyses. Meanwhile, an existing thermoelasto-viscoplastic model is modified to properly describe the influence of the abovementioned influential factors on the mechanical behavior CMT. The applicability of the modified model is then verified by triaxial compression and creep tests.
