... was either unreinforced or geocell-reinforced. The purpose was to investigate the effects of soil density and grain size as filler materials for the covering layer. The three covering soils were granular with average particle sizes of 2.2 (Soil 1), 6.14 (Soil 2), and 8.47 (Soil 3) mm. Under static loading...

...A. K. Choudhary; S. K. Dash Influence of soil density on the performance of geocell-reinforced vertical plate anchors was studied through a series of model tests and numerical analyses. It is observed that the geocell-induced performance improvement is present over a wide range of relative density...

... and geocell-reinforced sand layers with various thicknesses are investigated. The role of layer thickness, distance between two adjacent footings, and footing diameter indicates that the rigid base substantially influences the footing bearing pressure, settlement and tilt. The results show that the maximum...

...A. Biswas; A. Murali Krishna; S.K. Dash ABSTRACT: Physical model tests were performed on geocell-reinforced foundation systems with circular footings to study the influence of the strength of the subgrade layer. Model tests were conducted with a 150 mm diameter circular footing supported...
