Abstract

Laboratory model test results for bearing capacity of a square foundation supported by a sand layer reinforced with layers of geogrid have been presented. Based on the present model test results, the bearing capacity ratio with respect to the ultimate bearing capacity, and at levels of limited settlement of the foundation, have been determined. For practical design purposes, it appears that the bearing capacity ratio at limited levels of settlement is about two-thirds of the bearing capacity ratio calculated on the basis of the ultimate bearing capacity.
