TIAN Hai-bo, ZHAO Chun-yan
2006, 20(2): 55-57,62.
Abstract:
Through in-situ test on the test plot of lime-swelling soil filled subgrade for the high-speed railway from Hefei to Nanjing, the dynamic response of the subgrade under different velocity is researched by simulating and field-testing the deformation and accelerate caused by running trains in different speed. By testing the deformation, accelerate and dynamic strain on different plots, the distribution law of the deformation,accelerate and dynamic strain is found. It is revealed that the value from the existed code is not reasonable, so a new fixable value for over 200km/h railway is obtained which given reference to the design of new-build high speed railroad.

Influence Analysis of Load Cell Position in Osterberg Pile Testing Technique
YANG Zhong, NAI Lei
2006, 20(2): 74-76.
Abstract:
The influence of load cell position on bearing capacity of 3 piles using Osterberg pile testing technique is analyzed. with their predicted values, h is found that when the load cell is positioned high or low to the bottom of the pile, the obtained bearing capacity is lower than the actual value. A suitable method is presented. The simulation test method, which bases on classical Mohl- Colum intensity theory and the friction simulation test between the pile and the ground, help to get the optimum position. The conclusion drawn from the method is more accurate than the other two methods.

Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Vertical Settlement of Reinforced Road Embankment
LIU Jin-long, XIA Hui
2006, 20(2): 84-87.
Abstract:
The influence of geotextile on vertical settlement of road embankment is studied with nonlinear finite element method. By comparative computing of the unreinforced road embankment with reinforced one, it is shown that road embankment on soft soil foundation can be reinforced with geotextile effectively when the width of road is small. With that conditions, the vertical increment displacement can be reduced with geotextile, and the vertical displacement can be decreased 12% -16%, the stability of road can be increased more than 20%. While the width of road increased, the influence of geotextile on the vertical settlement of road embankment decreased, which regarded as dimension effect. Therefore, whether geotextile can minish vertical settlement of road embankment or not should be analyzed with reality condition. Furthermore, the limitation of conventional limit equilibrium method in studying embankment reinforced with geotextile is analyzed. It is necessary to develop nonlinear finite element method in studying on the interaction of soil and geotextile.

Behavior of Geosynthetics in Pile-supported and Geosynthetic-reinforced Embankments
JIA Ning, GAO Wen-long
2006, 20(2): 103-106.
Abstract:
The subsoil and the embankment treated by a single pile are simplified as a circular column. Considering the soil arching effect, an analytical study is conducted to investigate pile-soil-geosynthetics interactions. Theoretical solution suggests that the inclusion of geosynthetics in the fill enhances the pile efficacy and reduces the differential settlement when the soil arch is in plastic state; when the soil arch is in elastic state, there is no much difference between the cases with or without the geosynthetics. When the ratio of the geosynthetics stiffness to the soft ground stiffness is small, the geosynthetics has little effect in reducing the maximum settlement midway between the pile caps. Finally, these formulas are employed to analyze a set of full-scale model tests and a practical case.
