The effect of the geocell layer and the geocell with geogrid layer on the settlement Behavior of sand under static and cyclic loads is investigated in this experimental study. The parametric experiments were conducted to examine the effects of reinforcement type and spacing between reinforcement on footing settlement Behavior. Additionally, to ascertain how settlement varies under various circumstances, the load-settlement Behavior of square footings installed over both reinforced and unreinforced sand beds was investigated. According to the experimental investigation, the foundation resting over geocell-reinforced sand showed an improvement of about 150% in the sand bed's bearing capability. The reinforced sand bed sustained loading cycles twice that of the unreinforced sand. The results showed that construction and demolition waste performed best among the infill materials that were tested. When construction and demolition waste is used as an infill material, there is about a 94% increase in elastic uniform compression coefficient value and about a 30.4% increase in sand bed load-carrying capability. For waste foundry sand and a mixture of construction and demolition waste with waste foundry sand (50% each), there is about an 8.86% and 16.11% increase in the value of load carrying capacity as compared to when geocell is infilled with sand. For the geocell–geogrid reinforced sand bed, the maximum increase in the elastic uniform compression coefficient value is 17.9% with a 28.61% decrease in settlement value compared to when geocell is used alone in the sand bed.
