Abstract

Soil stabilization methods are important in dealing with for geotechnical engineering and transportation engineering departments. In addition to that, soil stabilization is becoming an alternative for increasing the strength properties of cohesive soils. There are a lot of stabilization methods and one of the most important stabilization methods is the soil stabilization with glass fibers. In this study, serious tests have been applied in the laboratory to investigate the availability of soils with glass fiber for increasing the bearing capacity and decreasing consolidation settling. For this purpose, the cohesive soil were prepared adding 0%, 5%,10%, 12%, 15%, 17% and 20% with glass fiber for determining effect of glass fiber strength at cohesive soil's road subgrade. According to results, all combinatons of glass fibers showed higher improvement engineering properties of soil. In according to that, this study indicates mixture containing 17% rubber particles is the best suitable solution in the stabilization of cohesive soils.

Abstract

In this study, bearing capacities and settlements have been determined for a piled raft foundation sunder eccentric loading conditions. For this purpose, slope models which were safe against collapsing have been used. Pile raft foundations located in the sand have been fixed on slope crest. At experiments, poorly graded sand samples and steel piles have been used and the optimum value of the pile spacing from literature have been selected. For determining the effect of eccentric vertical loading for piled raft foundations, a series of experiments have been carried out to identify the contribution of the bearing capacity and settlement.As a result of this study, it has been determined important effect of eccentric vertical loading at piled raft foundations and design parameters have been proposed for basic engineering applications.
