Abstract

Geosynthetic-reinforced foundation soils are used to support several structures such as footings, pavements, embankments and retaining walls. This chapter deals with various aspects of geosynthetic-reinforced foundation soils subjected to loads from loaded shallow footings, including reinforcing mechanisms and functions, reinforcing patterns, modes of failure, model test results, methods of analysis for load-bearing capacity and settlement, the concepts of prestressing, geosynthetic profiles and strain analysis, and some field applications.
