Performance of Reinforced Collapsible Soil
Experimental investigation was carried out on a strip rigid footing resting on homogeneous and reinforced collapsible soils and subjected to inundation due to groundwater rise. The objective of this investigation is to examine the effect of reinforcements on the footing collapse settlement. Tests were conducted on homogeneous collapsible soil, partially replaced collapsible soil with compacted sand with geotextile reinforcement layer at the interface. Additional tests were performed after inserting geogrid reinforcement layer(s) within the compacted sand layer. An empirical formula is presented to predict the collapse settlement of the strip footing on homogeneous collapsible soil. The contributions of the replaced sand layer with the presence of the reinforcement layers to the collapse settlement were introduced in terms of reduction factors.
