| Research Abstract |
The strength and deformation characteristics of geosynthetic reinforcement when subjected to sustained and cyclic loading were evaluated by performing a comprehensive series of tensile loading tests. By analyzing results from tests lasting for up to 30 days, a constitutive model that can fully explain the test results was developed. The residual deformation characteristics of backfill, which is another constituting material of geosynthetic-reinforced soil structure, were evaluated by performing sustained and cyclic loading triaxial tests on a variety of backfill material. The test results were analysed to obtain empirical equations that are to be incorporated into numerical analysis. Moreover, model loading tests on geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures, including retaining walls, and level grounds were performed under plane strain conditions to validate the numerical analysis method. In particular, the effects of sustained and cyclic loading on the deformation of geosynthetic-reinfo

rced soil structure were studied evaluating the possibility of creep rupture failure of geosynthetic reinforcement and the effects of preloading and prestressing. A FEM code to simulate model behaviour as observed above was developed. Finally, the feasibility of the use of crushed concrete as the backfill of geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures allowing a limited amount of instantaneous and residual deformation was studied by performing consolidated drained triaxial compression tests on specimens having a wide range of density and at a wide range of confining pressure. In particular, triaxial compression tests on 30 cm-diameter and 60 cm-high specimen of a crushed concrete available in the field were performed. It was found that, when highly compacted, the strength and stiffness of crushed concrete becomes as high as the best backfill material (i.e., well-graded crushed hard rock). This trend did not change when increasing the confining pressure up to 600 kPa. The strength and stiffness of cement-mixed crushed concrete were also as good as cement-mixed well-graded crushed hard rock in drained triaxial compression. Less
