Title: Bearing Capacity of Strip Footing on Geogrid-Reinforced Slope
Abstract: This paper presents the results of laboratory model footing tests on the bearing capacity behavior of strip footing on geogrid reinforced slopes. For the model tests, the reinforced slopes were artificially created using the raining technique with sand. A wide range of conditions were analyzed by varying geogrid reinforcing patterns. Furthermore, model tests were simulated using finite element analysis with the aim of investigating the mechanics behavior of the reinforced slope such as failure mechanism and force distribution in geogrid. Based on the results of model tests, both qualitative and quantitative relationships were established between the bearing capacity and the geogrid design parameters such as depth, length, and number of layers. In addition, optimum reinforcing patterns were suggested for the slopes reinforced with single, double, and triple geogrid layers.
