Abstract
Small-scale laboratory model test results on the bearing capacity
of a surface strip foundation supported by geogrid-reinforced
saturated clay are presented. Only one type of clay and one
type of geogrid were used for the model tests. The location of
the first layer of geogrid with respect to the bottom of the
foundation, spacing between the geogrid layers, width, and the
depth of geogrid reinforcement were varied. Based on the
model test results, the variation of the bearing capacity ratio
with respect to the ultimate bearing capacity, and the bearing
capacity at limited settlement levels were analyzed.
