| description abstract | The potential benefits of geosynthetic reinforced soil foundations are investigated using large-scale model footing load tests. A total of 34 load tests were performed to evaluate the effects of single and multiple layers of geosynthetic reinforcement placed below shallow spread footings. Two different geosynthetics are evaluated: a stiff biaxial geogrid and a geocell. Parameters of the testing program include the number of reinforcement layers, spacing between reinforcement layers, the depth to the first reinforcement layer, plan area of the reinforcement, the type of reinforcement, and soil density. Test results indicate that the use of geosynthetic reinforced soil foundations may increase the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow spread footings by a factor of 2.5. | |
