Numerical Modeling of Honeycombed Geocell Reinforced Soil
Shallow foundations have been commonly used to transfer load to soil layer within the permissible limits of settlement based on the bearing capacity of the soil. For most practical cases, the shape of the shallow foundation is of slight significance. Also, friction resistance forces in the first layers of soils are negligible due to non-sufficient surrounding surface area and compaction conditions. However, the bearing capacity of a shallow foundation can be increased by several techniques. Geocell is one of the geosynthetic tool applied mainly to reinforce soil. This study presents a numerical approach of honeycombed geocell steel panels reinforcing the sandy soil under shallow foundation, and several parameters are investigated such as the size and depth of honeycombed steel panels. The numerical results showed that honeycombed geocell reinforcement can increase the bearing capacity of soil by 65% and decrease the displacement of shallow foundation by 45%. This improvement of soil behavior under load resulted from the confinement of soil under foundation and increases the friction between soil and walls of geocells.
