<p>This study presents the results of consolidated drained triaxial tests conducted to investigate the influence of various parameters on the volumetric change behavior of cemented sand reinforced with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers. The primary objective is to explore the interaction between fiber weight ratio, cement weight ratio, confining pressure, and relative density on the dilatation behavior of cemented sand reinforced with PVA fibers. PVA fibers were incorporated into dry sand-cement mixtures at weight ratios of 0.0%, 0.3%, and 0.6%.

The results reveal that decreasing relative density, increasing cement content, and adding fibers all contribute to a reduction in sample dilatation. Specifically, the peak dilation rate increases with higher relative density and cement content, while it decreases with higher fiber content and confining pressure.

摘要

This study presents the results of consolidated drained triaxial tests conducted to investigate the influence of various parameters on the volumetric change behavior of cemented sand reinforced with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers. The primary objective is to explore the interaction between fiber weight ratio, cement weight ratio, confining pressure, and relative density on the dilatation behavior of cemented sand reinforced with PVA fibers. PVA fibers were incorporated into dry sand-cement mixtures at weight ratios of 0.0%, 0.3%, and 0.6%. The specimens were prepared with cement content of 0%, 2%, and 4% by weight of dry sand and cured for 7 days. Two relative densities were used in specimen preparation, and triaxial compression tests were conducted under different confining pressures. The results reveal that decreasing relative density, increasing cement content, and adding fibers all contribute to a reduction in sample dilatation. Specifically, the peak dilation rate increases with higher relative density and cement content, while it decreases with higher fiber content and confining pressure. A notable aspect of this study is its investigation of how these parameters interact when combined, offering a deeper understanding of their collective effects on soil behavior.
