This paper presents the results of laboratory model loading tests and numerical studies
carried out on square footings supported on geosynthetic reinforced sand beds. The relative …

The potential benefits of reinforcing a replaced layer of sand constructed on near a slope
crest was studied. Model tests were carried out using model footing of 75mm width and …

This paper presents the effect of a new type of geogrid inclusion on the bearing capacity of a
rigid strip footing constructed on a sand slope. A broad series of conditions, including …

New limit analysis solutions for the end bearing capacity of annular foundations in clay with
linearly increasing shear strength are presented in the paper. The strength profile of clay …

At present an enormous amount of pond ash is being produced by thermal power plants
throughout the world. Storage of pond ash requires vast land area and disposal of ash …

This paper numerically examines the bearing capacity ratio for rough square footings
located at the surface of a homogeneous sandy soil reinforced with a geogrid. The failure …

Bearing capacity of shallow strip foundations placed over both unreinforced and reinforced
granular soils and subjected to combined loading is calculated by implementation of upper …

The note pertains to an experimental study made on circular footings resting on semi-infinite
layer of sand reinforced with geotextiles. Using the concept of homogenization of such soils …

This paper describes an experimental investigation conducted to evaluate the ultimate
bearing capacity, the settlement and the tilt of two types closely spaced footings, one having …

This paper presents the results of laboratory model tests of a surface strip footing on
unreinforced and reinforced sand beds to investigate the effects of reinforcement length …
