APPLICATION OF VARIABLE PITCH OF REINFORCEMENT OF GEOSYNTHETIC MATERIALS IN FOUNDATION PADS FROM CONTINUOUS SOILS

The results of the study nature work reinforced foundation pads from cohesive soil. Compacted soft-plastic loam is considered as pad material, woven geotextile used a reinforcing element. Such constructive solution pad, rule, associated with impossibility or high cost using classical inert materials for these structures. Previous studies have shown efficiency rational arrangement horizontal geosynthetic elements in sand pads. main purpose this was to test well-known approach use variable reinforcement spacing made soils. goal achieved by numerical experiment (solving problems) Plaxis 2D software package various types reinforcement, 4 were considered. research are obtained schemes vertical stresses, well values maximum load that base can withstand without destruction. Based on research, formula determining position layers step soils corrected. It also found when arranged steps 200 mm less, effect practically does not occur. confirmed allows achieving «inclusion work» geosynthetics comparison other framework study. In addition, it has been proven under consideration, soil most effective terms perceived and number applied.
