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...

The stability of the embankment’s slopes is a critical aspect geotechnical engineering and it essential to guarantee effectiveness factor safety prevent any potential failures in slope both during post-construction. current study consists two parts; first part behavior geogrid-encased granular columns their interaction with soil at shear surface generated by slippage soil, while second changing...

This research was performed to investigate the behavior of strip footing on geosynthetic reinforced sandy soil and to study the effect of different parameters contributing to their performance using laboratory model tests. The parameters investigated in the study included top layer spacing (u), width of reinforcement (b), vertical spacing between layers (s) and number of reinforcement layers (N...

The interaction between reinforcement and soil is a key problem in the application of geosynthetics as geotechnical engineering. In this study, tensile pull-out tests on uniaxial geogrid were carried out using self-designed test equipment. evaluated load–strain characteristics geogrid. Under condition lateral confinement, force secant stiffness increased with an increase normal stress when stra...
