Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Eccentrically Loaded Strip Foundation on Sand Reinforced with Geogrids
نویسنده
چکیده
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 to estimate the ultimate bearing capacity under eccentric loading if the corresponding value under centric loading is known.

Eccentrically loaded strip foundation on geogrid-reinforced sand
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...
متن کاملExperimental Study of a Square Foundation with Connected and Non-Connected Piled Raft Foundation Under Eccentrically Loaded
In the recent years, non-connected piled raft foundation has been considered as an economical and practical deep foundation in the situation that high shear and concentrated loads may occur at the connection of the raft and pile head. This paper was presented an experimental study of a square foundation on the effects of parameters such as S/D, L/D and etc. in two cases of connected or non-conn...
متن کاملAn Investigation on Behavior of Centrally Loaded Shallow Foundation on Sand Bed Reinforced with Geogrid
The study pertains to the investigation of the effect of embedment on the load carrying capacity and settlement of strip foundations on sand reinforced with geogrids. Geogrid being an inextensible reinforcing material is widely used all over the world mainly for retaining walls, abutments slope protection and below the foundation in poor soil. Some research works have been done the investigator...
متن کاملSeismic Bearing Capacity of Strip Footings on Pile-Stabilized Slopes
This paper develops an analytical method to calculate seismic bearing capacity of a strip footing, which is located on a slope reinforced with rows of pile. The resistance of passive pile is determined based on normal and shear stress of the soil around the pile, which is then compared to other analytical methods. This comparison indicates an acceptable agreement. The variants of the study incl...
متن کاملBearing capacity of shell strip footing on reinforced sand
In this paper, the ultimate load capacities of shell foundations on unreinforced and reinforced sand were determined by laboratory model tests. A series of loading tests were carried out on model shell footing with and without single layer of reinforcement. The tests were done for shell foundation at different shell embedment depth and subgrade density. The results were compared with those for ...
