| description abstract | A series of laboratory model tests was performed to investigate the behavior of geosynthetic reinforced stiff clay foundation systems under circular loading. The footing consisted of a rigid circular steel plate with a diameter of 150 mm. Five different series of tests were performed in both homogeneous (clay or sand) and layered configurations. The tests used planar geogrid and three-dimensional geocell reinforcements. Test results indicate that both types of reinforcements substantially improve the performance of the stiff clay foundation bed. A maximum threefold improvement was observed in bearing pressure, depending on the reinforcement type. However, geocell was found to be the most advantageous soil reinforcement technique, giving maximum performance improvement. | |
