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...

The concrete-filled bimetallic tubular (CFBT) member studied in this paper comprises a stainless steel/carbon steel tube infilled with core concrete. It has the advantages of enhanced mechanical property, good corrosion resistance and cost effectiveness. A finite element analysis (FEA) model is established to investigate performance eccentrically compressed CFBT short columns circular cross-sec...

This study aims to demonstrate the effects of geogrid reinforcement on bearing capacity strip footing under eccentric loading. Numerical analysis using finite element program called (PLAXIS 2D Professional v.8.2) are presented. The effect each depth ratio topmost layer (u/B), vertical distance between consecutive layers (h/B), number (N), and effective (d/B) were studied, where (B) is width. Al...
