Static and Incremental Cyclic Loading of Ring and Circular Footings on Coir Geocell-Reinforced Sand
Abstract Ring footings are widely used as foundation for water tanks, television antennas, silos, chimneys, oil storage tanks, etc. This paper presents an experimental study to investigate the cyclic as well as static behavior of model ring footing and circular footing resting on coir geocell-reinforced sand. The parameters studied are coir geocell width, and depth of embedment of geocell. The studies have shown that, with the provision of geocell-reinforced sand cushion, there is substantial reduction in settlement of both ring and circular footings due to modified stress distribution. The beneficial effect in terms of increased load carrying capacity and reduced settlement is related to the width and depth of placing geocell mattress.
