Load-bearing characteristics of square footing on geogrid-reinforced sand subjected to repeated loading

Sustainability effect of geogrid reinforced tire-shred sand mixtures on the load pressure-settlement response of shallow footing

“…The test results are inferred that using the wraparound geogrid sheet have significant effect due to a great increase in ultimate carrying capacity when placed within fine dense sand soil at total embedment depth ratio D/B = 0.4. The confinement effect induced by the folded approach is mostly responsible for the improvement of load-settlement behavior [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 42 ]. Therefore, geogrid sheets should usually use to be inserted within dense to very dense sand with appropriate semifolded geogrid sheets to achieve the highest performance due to the increase in the subgrade reaction modulus and ultimate carrying capacity.…”
