Eccentrically loaded strip foundation on geogrid-reinforced sand
نویسندگان
چکیده
Results are presented for laboratory model tests conducted to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of an eccentrically loaded strip foundation supported by geogridreinforced sand. Only one type of sand at one relative density of compaction and one type of geogrid were used for the tests. The depth of the foundation was varied from zero to B (width of foundation). Based on the laboratory test results, an empirical relationship called reduction factor has been suggested that correlates the ratio of the ultimate bearing capacity of an eccentrically loaded foundation with that for a foundation where the load is applied centrally.

Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Eccentrically Loaded Strip Foundation on Sand Reinforced with Geogrids
This paper reports the results of model loading tests performed on an eccentrically loaded strip foundation supported by multi-layered geogrid-reinforced sand. Only one type of geogrid and sand at one relative density of compaction were considered. Based on the present laboratory test results, an empirical relationship for the reduction factor has been developed. This relationship can be used t...

In this paper, an experimental and numerical study was adopted to investigate the effect geogrid soil reinforcement prestressing on the pressure settlement relation of sand bed supporting a strip foundation. The studied parameters include foundation depth and pre-stress ratio for the cases of one and two pre-stressed reinforcement layers. The study reflected that pre-stressing of soil reinforce...
متن کاملApplication of FBG Sensing Technology in Stability Analysis of Geogrid-Reinforced Slope
By installing FBG sensors on the geogrids, smart geogrids can both reinforce and monitor the stability for geogrid-reinforced slopes. In this paper, a geogrid-reinforced sand slope model test is conducted in the laboratory and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing technology is used to measure the strain distribution of the geogrid. Based on the model test, the performance of the reinforced soil sl...
