... and numerical simulation. The investigation focused on the evolution of excess pore water pressure, deformation, and pile bearing capacity. Results indicated that vacuum negative pressure drainage could induce rapid initial dissipation of pore water pressure, followed by a slower rate. Excess pore pressure...

... on the model studies, the study proposes a sustainable polyethylene–sand–soft soil model, which shows 155 and 56% higher ultimate bearing capacity (BC) than soft soil and sand-reinforced soft soil foundations. The changes in BC occur due to the reinforcement action of the polyethylene reinforcement, which...

... studied. The lateritic soil was sieved into grade B and grade D soils. Each grade of soil is mixed with BA at varying content and their bearing capacity and permeability properties were tested. The California bearing ratio (CBR) samples were compacted at optimum water content (OWC) and OWC + 2%. At OWC...

... for the analysis of this network, and the second and third parts analyse the performance of the micropile network under lateral and vertical loads. Analysis shows that the inclination of micropiles results in an improvement of both the tiffness and the bearing capacity of the micropile network. Les micropiles...

... foundations. The test results indicate that this type of reinforcement increases the bearing capacity of subgrades and modifies the load–displacement behaviour of the footing. Skirt factors are proposed that take into account the variables that affect the bearing capacity, and they are used within the general...

...T. G. Sitharam; S. Sireesh This paper describes laboratory model tests to determine the bearing capacity of an embedded circular footing supported by multiple layers of geogrid-reinforced sand beds. The embedment depth ratio of the footing was varied from zero to 0·6. The tests were conducted...

...M. Y. Al-Aghbari; Y. E.-A. Mohamedzein Tests on footing models were carried out to study the behaviour of strip footings with structural skirts resting on sand. The use of structural skirts improved the bearing capacity of strip footings by a factor of up to three. The improvement depends...

...S. K. Dash; S. Sireesh; T. G. Sitharam Laboratory model test results for the bearing capacity of circular footings supported by geocell-reinforced sand beds are presented. Footing load–settlement response, deformations at the fill surface, strains in the geocell wall and pressure distributions...
