Finite Element Analysis of the Influence of Artificial Cementation on the Strength Parameters and Bearing Capacity of Sandy Soil under a Strip Footing

Artificial cementation is a method commonly used to enhance and improve soil properties. This paper investigates the effect of using different amounts cement on strength parameters bearing capacity, finite element method. Experimental tests are conducted samples with Portland cement. A 2-D numerical model created validated modelling software, COMSOL Multiphysics 5.6 software. The study finds that cohesion, angle internal friction increase significantly as result adding 1%, 2%, 4% results demonstrate stresses strain under strip footing proposed decrease by 3.24% 7.42%. Moreover, maximum displacement also decreases 1.47% 2.97%, cements 2% 4%. capacity values obtained therefore excellent, especially when identified due increased factors. It concluded from an economic viewpoint, best option.
