Abstract
In this study, we are planning to perform tests in order to confirm basic characteristics (bending and compression properties) of textile tubes (jackets) filled with a variety of lightweight soil. In the 20th Geosynthetics symposium, we reported the test results of the jackets filled with foam cement. Bending and compression strengths of them were small, and no reinforcing effect using textile strength was obtained. But composite light weight soil filled jacket with an outer layer of Portland cement and inner filling cement foam made an effective use of jacket tension. In this report, we performed tests of jackets filled with foam waste glass and Kanto roam, or silica sand.
