Performance of Geocell Reinforced Soil Beds
The usage of geosynthetic material as ground improvement technique has gained its widespread approval due to its quality of construction, simplicity and time-saving parameter. This study focuses on the use of geocells made from geotextiles as a reinforcement material for reducing settlement. A structure of these cells interconnected by joints to form a cellular network could be used for the confinement of soil. This paper represents results of laboratory model tests on square footings supported by geocell reinforced soil beds such as sand and red soil. The influence of varying parameters such as depth to the first layer of geocell, the width of geocell, the height of geocells and the density of soil were studied. It was found that the load-carrying capacity of the foundation can be significantly enhanced by the inclusion of geocells and also the configuration and arrangement of geocell reinforcement has a pivot role in the performance.
