To embrace sustainable and environmentally friendly practices, sisal fibers have emerged as a green and low-carbon alternative, offering a viable approach for enhancing the physical characteristics of frost-vulnerable soils. In this study, the unconfined compressive strength and freeze-thaw cycle (FTC) tests for soils stabilized with sisal fiber were conducted, and the enhancement mechanism of sisal fibers on soils in cold regions was analyzed. The results showed that as the sisal fiber content raised, the unconfined compressive strength of the soil samples initially increased and then decreased, which reached a peak at 0.9% sisal fiber content. The heat flux in the sisal fiber-reinforced soil samples exhibited a more dramatic variation than that in the soils without adding fibers during the water-ice phase transition stage. The unfrozen water hysteresis in the fiber-reinforced soil samples initially decreased and then increased as the soil temperature decreased. With an increase in the FTCs, the frost heave for sisal fiber-reinforced soil samples occurred, whereas settlement appeared in the soils without adding fibers. The cumulative deformation of sisal fiber-reinforced soil samples was lower than that of the soils without adding fibers. Additionally, the thaw settlement rate was lower than that of frost heave rate for sisal fiber-reinforced soil samples, while the reverse results were occurred for the soils without adding fibers. The addition of sisal fibers established a more robust structural integrity to the soils.

为了实现可持续发展和环境友好型实践，剑麻纤维作为一种绿色低碳的替代品应运而生，为增强易冻土壤的物理特性提供了一种可行的方法。本研究对使用剑麻纤维稳定的土壤进行了无压抗压强度和冻融循环（FTC）试验，并分析了剑麻纤维对寒冷地区土壤的增强机理。结果表明，随着剑麻纤维含量的增加，土样的无压抗压强度先上升后下降，在剑麻纤维含量为 0.9% 时达到峰值。在水冰相变阶段，剑麻纤维加固土样中的热通量比未添加纤维的土样中的热通量变化更为剧烈。随着土壤温度的降低，纤维加固土壤样品中的解冻水滞后最初会减小，然后增大。随着 FTCs 的增加，剑麻纤维加筋土样出现了冻胀，而未添加纤维的土样则出现了沉降。剑麻纤维加固土样的累积变形量低于未添加纤维的土样。此外，剑麻纤维加固土样的解冻沉降率低于冻胀率，而未添加纤维的土样则相反。添加剑麻纤维后，土壤的结构更加坚固。

The PVD-vacuum preloading method combined with airbags is a new soft ground treatment technology that can provide additional consolidation pressure and reduce lateral deformation towards the improvement area caused by traditional PVD-vacuum preloading. However, continuous airbag pressurization tends to create large cavities in the soil, and the optimal timing for airbag loading is also unclear. To address the aforementioned issues, this paper proposes an intermittent airbag pressurization method, adding small-diameter airbags between adjacent PVDs and intermittently inflating the airbags. Through indoor model test, the water discharge characteristics, improvement effect, improvement mechanism, and foundation settlement characteristics under intermittent airbag pressure were studied, proving that intermittent airbag pressure can significantly reduce early soil rebound. A calculation method for the airbag expansion diameter was proposed, and its feasibility was verified through experimental results. Finally, the optimal time period for intermittent airbag loading was clarified.

结合气囊的 PVD 真空预加载法是一种新型软土地基处理技术，可提供额外的固结压力，减少传统 PVD 真空预加载法对改良区域造成的横向变形。然而，连续的气囊加压容易在土壤中产生较大的空洞，而且气囊加载的最佳时机也不明确。针对上述问题，本文提出了一种间歇式气囊加压方法，即在相邻 PVD 之间添加小直径气囊，并对气囊进行间歇式充气。通过室内模型试验，研究了间歇气囊加压下的出水特性、改善效果、改善机理和地基沉降特性，证明间歇气囊加压可显著减少早期土体回弹。提出了气囊膨胀直径的计算方法，并通过试验结果验证了其可行性。最后，明确了间歇气囊加载的最佳时间段。

This paper investigates the cyclic simple shearing behaviors of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) geofoams considering influences of the shear strain amplitude (γ_a), number of shear cycles, shear rate, vertical stress (σ_n), and EPS density (ρ_EPS). The experimental results demonstrate that the cyclic shear stress (τ)-shear strain (γ) relationships of EPS are not sensitive to the shear rate. As the γ exceeds 2%, the EPS yields and its τ-γ relationships and backbone curve become nonlinear. There are linear relationships between the elastic modulus E, elastic shear modulus G_e, and plastic shear modulus G_p. They increase linearly with an increase in the ρ_EPS. The G_e and G_p are not sensitive to the γ_a. The cyclic shear stiffness G increases while the equivalent damping ratio D of EPS decreases with an increase in the σ_n and ρ_EPS. The G decreases while the D increases nonlinearly as the γ_a increases. Empirical models were developed to describe the variations of the G_e, G_p, G, and D with σ_n, ρ_EPS, and γ_a. A modified Hardin-Drnevich model was proposed to describe the backbone curves and τ-γ loops upon cyclic simple shearing, which has achieved good agreement with the experimental measurements and the testing results from the literature.

本文研究了发泡聚苯乙烯（EPS）土工膜的循环简单剪切行为，考虑了剪切应变振幅（γa）、剪切循环次数、剪切速率、垂直应力（σn）和 EPS 密度（ρEPS）的影响。实验结果表明，EPS 的循环剪切应力（τ）-剪切应变（γ）关系对剪切速率并不敏感。当 γ 超过 2% 时，EPS 就会屈服，其 τ-γ 关系和骨干曲线会变得非线性。弹性模量 E、弹性剪切模量 Ge 和塑性剪切模量 Gp 之间存在线性关系。它们随着 ρEPS 的增加而线性增加。Ge 和 Gp 对 γa 不敏感。循环剪切刚度 G 随 σn 和 ρEPS 的增加而增加，而 EPS 的等效阻尼比 D 则随 σn 和 ρEPS 的增加而减小。随着 γa 的增大，G 会减小，而 D 会非线性增大。建立了经验模型来描述 Ge、Gp、G 和 D 随 σn、ρEPS 和 γa 的变化。提出了一个改进的 Hardin-Drnevich 模型来描述循环简单剪切时的骨架曲线和 τ-γ 循环，该模型与实验测量结果和文献测试结果具有良好的一致性。

Focusing on a T-shape cantilever retaining wall in a liquefiable site, a series of shaking table model tests were conducted to investigate the seismic stability characteristics of the wall when using EPS composite soil isolation piles (WEP), EPS composite soil isolation walls (WEW), and backfilled natural fine sand from Nanjing (WSS). The seismic response characteristics of the model ground soil and the retaining wall for the three models were comparatively analyzed regarding the acceleration, displacement, dynamic earth pressure and excess pore water pressure ratio. Moreover, the seismic performance of anti-liquefaction measures in the liquefiable ground with EPS composite isolation structures were discussed from the view of the phase characteristics and energy consumption. The results indicate that under the same peak ground acceleration, the excess pore water pressure in the WEP and WEW models is significantly lower than that in the WSS model. Different from WSS, WEP and WEW exhibit a segmented distribution with the buried depth in acceleration amplification factors. The embedding of isolation structures in liquefiable sites can reduce the wall sliding and rotational displacements by approximately 25%–50%. In addition, the out-of-phase characteristics of dynamic earth pressure increment are evidently different among WEP, WEW and WSS. There is an approximate 180° phase difference between the dynamic earth pressure behind the wall and the inertial force in the WEP and WEW models. EPS composite soil isolation structures show good energy dissipation characteristics, and especially the isolation wall is better than isolation pile. The displacement index of WSS retaining wall is significantly larger than that of WEW and WEP, indicating that EPS composite isolation piles and wall play an important role in the mitigating damage to the retaining wall. This study can provide references for the application of isolation structures in the liquefiable ground soil regarding the seismic stability.

针对液化场地中的 T 型悬臂挡土墙，进行了一系列振动台模型试验，研究了采用 EPS 复合土隔离桩（WEP）、EPS 复合土隔离墙（WEW）和回填南京天然细砂（WSS）时挡土墙的地震稳定性特征。比较分析了三种模型的加速度、位移、动土压力和孔隙水超压比等模型地基土和挡土墙的地震响应特性。此外，还从相位特征和能耗的角度讨论了采用 EPS 复合隔震结构的液化地层抗液化措施的抗震性能。结果表明，在相同的地表加速度峰值下，WEP 和 WEW 模型的过剩孔隙水压力明显低于 WSS 模型。与 WSS 模型不同的是，WEP 和 WEW 模型的加速度放大系数随埋设深度呈分段分布。在可液化场地嵌入隔离结构可将墙体滑动和旋转位移减少约 25%-50%。此外，WEP、WEW 和 WSS 的动土压力增量的非相位特性明显不同。在 WEP 和 WEW 模型中，墙后动土压力与惯性力之间存在大约 180° 的相位差。EPS 复合土体隔震结构表现出良好的消能特性，尤其是隔震墙的消能特性优于隔震桩。WSS 挡土墙的位移指数明显大于 WEW 和 WEP 挡土墙的位移指数，说明 EPS 复合隔震桩和隔震墙在减轻挡土墙破坏方面发挥了重要作用。本研究可为可液化地基土中隔震结构的抗震稳定性应用提供参考。

Bottom vacuum preloading (BVP) is the method of applying vacuum pressure at the bottom zone of soils to generate pore-water pressure difference between the top and bottom boundaries, thereby achieving the consolidation drainage. This study conducted a large-size model test to explore the engineering feasibility of combining self-weight and BVP to treat construction waste slurry (CWS). Through the treatment of the measures of self-weight consolidation (0–26 d) and BVP with a water cover (26–78 d), the average water content of CWS declined from 255.6% to 115.9%, and the volume reduction ratio reached 0.476. However, since these two measures could properly treat only the bottom CWS, the measures of BVP with the mud cover (78–141 d) and the natural air-drying (141–434 d) were performed to further decrease the CWS water content near the upper zone. The latter two-stage measures reduced the average water content of CWS to 84.9% and increased the volume reduction ratio to 0.581. Moreover, the measurements suggested that the treated CWS largely exhibited a shear strength of 10 kPa or more. Overall, the proposed approach appeared some engineering feasibility to treat CWS, and the performed test study could act as a reference for the practical treatment of CWS.

底部真空预压（BVP）是在土壤底部区域施加真空压力，使上下边界产生孔隙水压力差，从而实现固结排水的方法。本研究通过大尺寸模型试验，探讨了自重与 BVP 结合处理建筑垃圾泥浆（CWS）的工程可行性。通过自重固结（0-26 d）和覆水 BVP（26-78 d）措施的处理，CWS 的平均含水率从 255.6% 降至 115.9%，体积减少比达到 0.476。但是，由于这两种措施只能对底部的 CWS 进行适当处理，为了进一步降低靠近上部区域的 CWS 含水量，还采取了带泥浆覆盖的 BVP（78-141 d）和自然风干（141-434 d）措施。后两个阶段的措施将 CWS 的平均含水量降至 84.9%，并将体积减少率提高到 0.581。此外，测量结果表明，经过处理的 CWS 大多具有 10 kPa 或更高的剪切强度。总体而言，所建议的方法在处理 CWS 方面具有一定的工程可行性，所进行的试验研究可为 CWS 的实际处理提供参考。

A novel connection configuration for geotextile tubes was proposed, involving the insertion of an auxiliary tube between two main tubes, to ensure proper alignment and leveling when connecting them in a series, thus consolidating individual tubes into a unified structure while maintaining a consistent horizontal level. The novel connection was implemented at a test bed site in the Saemangeum reclaimed area, South Korea, to test exposure to the marine environment including sea waves, sun light exposure and reclamation process. This study presents the observations made upon opening the connection tube after 8 years. The observation shows that the connected geotextile tubes using the proposed auxiliary tube are suitable for use in long-term reclamation projects.

This study examines the performance of prefabricated vertical drains (PVD) against liquefaction and reliquefaction. A series of 102 shakings were performed using 1g shaking table apparatus on untreated and treated sand specimens prepared with 25% relative density. Sinusoidal waveform experimented with three different repeated shaking patterns and independent events for two different frequencies (2 Hz and 3.5 Hz) with 1-min duration. Two different installation methods; drainage alone method (PVD-D) and drainage along with densification (PVD-DD) were experimented. Durability of PVD were examined from geotextile tensile testing apparatus and digital image correlation. These experiments demonstrated excellent durability characteristics of PVD filter even after exposed to repeated shakings. Treated specimens improved the resistance to reliquefaction due to radial drainage offered by PVD which has retarded the excess pore pressure (EPP) generation. In addition, densification induced during the installation of PVD also contributed for restricting EPP, however, the induced sand densification achieved during repeated shaking events were not responsible for increased resistance against liquefaction/reliquefaction. Results indicate that the maximum pore pressure ratio in treated specimens were restricted within threshold design limit (≤0.60) for most of the events, even when the untreated specimens completely liquefied or generated a maximum value near unity.

本研究考察了预制垂直排水沟（PVD）抗液化和再液化的性能。使用 1g 振动台仪器对未处理和已处理的相对密度为 25% 的砂试样进行了 102 次系列振动。用三种不同的重复振动模式和两种不同频率（2 Hz 和 3.5 Hz）、持续时间为 1 分钟的独立事件进行了正弦波形试验。试验了两种不同的安装方法：单独排水法（PVD-D）和排水与致密化法（PVD-DD）。通过土工织物拉伸试验设备和数字图像相关性检验了 PVD 的耐久性。这些实验表明，PVD 过滤器即使在反复震动的情况下也具有出色的耐久性能。由于 PVD 提供的径向排水功能延缓了过剩孔隙压力（EPP）的产生，经过处理的试样提高了抗再塌陷能力。此外，在安装 PVD 过程中引起的致密化也有助于限制 EPP，但是，在反复摇晃过程中引起的砂致密化并不是提高抗液化/再液化能力的原因。结果表明，即使未经处理的试样完全液化或产生接近于 1 的最大值，经过处理的试样的最大孔隙压力比在大多数事件中也被限制在阈值设计限值（≤0.60）之内。

The effect of backfilling of a surface differential settlement trough to reduce leakage is explored both experimentally and numerically. The field experiment examined two lined sections each with an 11 mm-diameter hole in the liner on a nominally 4 horizontal:1 vertical slope. A 2 m by 3 m, 0.3 m deep depression was filled with a 50-50 sand-snow mixture in winter to give a continuous 4H:1V slope prior to covering with the liner and 0.3 m of cover soil. Spring thaw induced a differential settlement trough up to 0.14 m deep. A second section with a similar trough was backfilled with cover soil to reinstate the 4H:1V surface while the settlement depression in the liner remained. Over the 15 months of monitoring, the backfilling reduced leakage by 57% from a annual total of 565 L to 244 L (i.e., a 60% reduction in colder seasons, from 351.3 L to 137.8 L together with a 45% reduction in warmer seasons, from 141.8 L to 77.6 L). A 3D numerical model showed encouraging agreement with the experimental results. The model indicated an inverse relationship between leakage and slope gradient, and a direct relationship between leakage and depression depth and upgradient distance to the depression. The effect of cover hydraulic conductivity was complex.

通过实验和数值计算探讨了回填表面差异沉降槽以减少渗漏的效果。现场实验检查了两个内衬区段，每个区段的内衬上都有一个直径为 11 毫米的孔，垂直坡度名义上为 4 水平:1。在一个 2 米乘 3 米、深 0.3 米的凹陷处，冬季用 50-50 的沙雪混合物填充，以形成 4H:1V 的连续斜坡，然后覆盖衬垫和 0.3 米的覆盖土。春季解冻后产生了一个深达 0.14 米的差异沉降槽。第二段类似的沉降槽用覆盖土回填，以恢复 4H:1V 的表面，而衬垫中的沉降凹陷仍然存在。在 15 个月的监测中，回填后的渗漏量减少了 57%，从每年的 565 升减少到 244 升（即在寒冷季节减少 60%，从 351.3 升减少到 137.8 升，在温暖季节减少 45%，从 141.8 升减少到 77.6 升）。三维数值模型与实验结果的一致性令人鼓舞。该模型表明，渗漏与坡度之间存在反比关系，渗漏与洼地深度和洼地上游距离之间存在直接关系。覆盖层水导率的影响很复杂。

This study presents an innovative methodology for predicting seismic-induced sliding displacement, a key determinant in evaluating the seismic stability of landfills. The novelty of this research lies in the incorporation of the softening characteristics of the geosynthetic interface within the liner system, a factor that has been largely overlooked in previous studies. A dynamic stability analysis was performed on a landfill using the ABAQUS software, with an emphasis on the impact of coupled parameters, particularly the strength of the interface. The results highlight PGA (Peak Ground Acceleration), PGV (Peak Ground Velocity), I_a (Arias Intensity), and residual interface shear strength (μ) as effective predictors. The study further identifies the combination of PGA and μ as the optimal parameter pairing for predicting the seismic permanent deformation of the landfill. A multi-dimensional data regression approach was employed to propose a calculation formula for seismic permanent deformation, taking into account liner damage. To enhance the seismic design methodology for landfills, the probability density function was integrated into the study. This innovative approach provides a new perspective on seismic stability assessment in landfill engineering and designs.

本研究提出了一种预测地震引起的滑动位移的创新方法，这是评估垃圾填埋场地震稳定性的一个关键决定因素。这项研究的新颖之处在于将土工合成材料界面的软化特性纳入了衬垫系统，而这一因素在以往的研究中大多被忽视。使用 ABAQUS 软件对垃圾填埋场进行了动态稳定性分析，重点关注耦合参数的影响，尤其是界面强度。结果表明，PGA（峰值地面加速度）、PGV（峰值地面速度）、Ia（阿里亚斯强度）和残余界面剪切强度 (μ) 是有效的预测参数。研究进一步确定了 PGA 和 μ 的组合是预测垃圾填埋场地震永久变形的最佳参数组合。采用多维数据回归方法，提出了地震永久变形的计算公式，并考虑了衬垫的损坏。为了加强垃圾填埋场的抗震设计方法，研究中还纳入了概率密度函数。这一创新方法为垃圾填埋场工程和设计中的地震稳定性评估提供了新的视角。
