  Abstract

Based on previous research results, this study aims to analyze the effects of changes in the amount and area sprayed with bonding agents to improve the seaming strength of woven geotextiles used as soft ground reinforcement materials. After evaluating the engineering properties and considering the installation conditions of the reinforcement materials, the reduction factor affecting the reinforcement of the seamed area was calculated and the long-term allowable seaming strength was investigated. To confirm the effects of bonding agents on reinforcing woven geotextile seamed areas, we considered each of the following field installation condition factors: installation resistance, chemical resistance, salt water resistance, and shear frictional resistance. The results of this study show that there is a method that can improve the soft ground and its stability by improving the retention of the seaming strength of woven geotextiles by effective bonding agent application.
