The Effect of Geogrid Reinforcement on Bearing Capacity Properties of Soil Under Static Load; A Review

In general, soils possess a low tensile strength. The main objective of strengthening the soil mass is to increase bearing capacity improve stability and decreased settlements and lateral deformations. One of the approaches is the use of polymeric materials. Geosynthetic is a well known technique in soil reinforcement. The use of it, can significantly improve the soil performance and reduce costs in comparison with conventional designs. In this paper, a review of experimental and numerical tests carried out by different previous researchers on reinforced soil with synthetic materials specially geogrid under static loading had been made. The studies indicate that the inclusion of planar reinforcement in the sand decreased much both the monotonic and cumulative settlements leading to an economic design of the footings.
