With the increase in construction of highways and railways on soft soil, the treatment of soft soil subgrade is becoming m
3、ore and more extensive. Based on the reinforcement effects of glass fiber, the possibility of applying glass fiber to strengthen soft soil subgrade is discussed in this paper. More than 100 groups of cement soil samples laboratory testing results are presented and compared. The analysis of test resu

It could also be used as a possible replacement of soft soil subgrade. The findings are a new contribution to the soft soil subgrade treatment techniques. I
5、NTRODUCTION Soft soils are extensively distributed in coastal and inland areas in China. This kind of soils is considered problematic due to their poor mechanical properties, such as small bearing capacity and long-term settlement under surcharge load. With the rapid development of the economy of Ch
6、ina, lots of infrastructures are being constructed in soft soil areas. Therefore, soft soils often need to be treated by soft ground improvement techniques, among which, cement deep mixing method is widely used (GAO Guo-rui and LI Jun-cai, 1996). The soft soils mechanical properties such as compress
7、ion strength and tensile strength can be improved to a certain extent after foundation treatment. However, the increase in compression resistance is always associated with brittle failure of cement soil under compression and tension and this will result in project failure. To overcome this undesired
8、 problem and get a higher strength, many researchers apply additional additives in the cement soil (Kaniraj and 7 Copyright ASCE 2009GeoHunan International Conference 2009 Downloaded 19 Mar 2012 to 113.240.233.9.

9、vanagi, 2001). These additives include fly ash, silica fume, slag powder, lime, industrial waste gypsum, and various fibers, etc. Each of them has achieved certain success. Discrete randomly distributed fiber as a new reinforcement material has also been used to strengthen cement soil in soft ground
10、 (Shbib and Okumura, 2002), as the high tensile strength of the fiber can solve the problem of brittle failure of cement soil. In this paper, glass fiber is mixed in cement soil as a reinforcement material to improve the strength and deformation behavior of the soft subgrade through indoor test. The
11、 tests conducted on glass fiber cement soil include the compression tests, the tensile tests and the triaxial tests under a certain confining pressure. Results of the experimental work are therefore analyzed. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY Materials of Test Index properties of the soft clay from Yancheng
