...), on the bearing capacity ratio (BCR) and failure envelopes of the overlying shallow foundation are examined and discussed. The results generally show a marked increase in the ultimate bearing capacity of the surface footing against combined loading with the inclusion of a single geosynthetic layer. Results also...

...A. Soleimanbeigi; N. Hataf Several experimental and theoretical investigations have been carried out to predict the bearing capacity of shallow foundations on reinforced cohesionless soils. It has been demonstrated that placing layers of reinforcement within the foundation soil increases...
