Foundation on geogrid-reinforced sand - effect of transient loading

Das, B.M. / Maji, A. / Shin, E.C.

The results of a number of laboratory model tests to determine the settlement of a square foundation supported by geogrid-reinforced sand and subjected to transient loading of short duration are presented. In all tests, the peak value of the transient load per unit area of the foundation exceeded the ultimate static bearing capacity of the foundation supported by unreinforced sand. Based on the model test results, the following conclusions can be drawn: 1) Geogrid reinforcement reduces the settlement due to transient loading. 2) The above conclusions are based on the tests conducted on sand at one relative density of compaction with only one type of geogrid reinforcement. More tests of this type are required to draw general conclusions.
