...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...

...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...
