Ultimate Bearing Strength on Rectangular Footing Resting Over Geogrid Reinforced Sand Under Eccentric Load

There is number of works has been carried out for the evaluation of an ultimate bearing strength of shallow foundation, supported over geogrid reinforced sand and subjected to load on center. Some experimental has been study for calculation of the bearing strength of shallow foundation on geogrid reinforced sand under eccentric loading. However that the studies for strip footings. The main purpose of the research work is to conduct model tests under the laboratory with utilizing rectangular surface foundation rest over the reinforced sand. The true bearing capacity of eccentrically loaded rectangular footing resting over geogrid reinforced sand can be determined by knowing the ultimate bearing strength of rectangular footing resting over reinforced sand bed and subjected to central vertical load with using reduction factor R kR . An equation for reduction factor for rectangular footing resting over geogrid reinforced sand is developed on based of the laboratory model test results Singh Avtar | Anu | Pershotam Singh "Ultimate Bearing Strength on Rectangular Footing Resting Over Geogrid Reinforced Sand Under Eccentric Load" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-3 | Issue-1 , December 2018, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd19052.pd
