PURPOSES : Recently, there has been an increase in the use of discrete randomly distributed fiber materials for reinforcing pavement foundations. However, very limited study has been made on this from the perspective of pavement engineering. Therefore, this study evaluates the performance of soil-geofibers used in pavement foundations as well as the effects of stress dependency with various mixtures. METHODS: To estimate the behavior of soil-geofiber mixtures under traffic loadings, laboratory resilient modulus data for the mechanical characteristics of geofiber mixtures were used, and they were adopted to evaluate the structural response and analyze the stress dependency through 2-D finite element analysis. As the host materials, poorly graded and uniformly graded sand were selected, and each soil was mixed with three different types of fiber, namely monofilament, fibrillated, and tape. RESULTS: The stress dependent response on resilient modulus and Poisson’s ratio were mainly considered by conducting linear and nonlinear elastic analyses on various geofiber mixtures. As a result, it was found that the response and yield function of geofiber mixed layers in pavements were affected considerably depending on the gradation of the soils and the confinement conditions. A small change was found when the particle size was homogenized. CONCLUSIONS : From this, it can be concluded that the finite element model with stress dependency is suitable for estimating the performance on geofiber mixtures. It is also noted that all the responses of geofiber mixtures were relatively sensitive to the gradation of host soils. This indicates that the effects of the nonlinearity and stress-dependency of geofiber mixtures under repetitive loadings could be substantial.
