LOAD SETTLEMENT BEHAVIOUR OF LOOSE GRANULAR SOIL FILL WITH RUBBER NODED BAMBOO GRID
Abstract: Soil Reinforcement is the widely accepted technique to improve the bearing capacity of challenging sites. There are various natural as well as synthetic material available as reinforcement for soil. Nowadays geosynthetic reinforced granular fill material is widely used in soft sub grade soil. This manuscript deals with the experimental studies carried out to explore the possibility of using naturally available bamboo as a geogrid to increase the bearing capacity of …

An Experimental Studyon Behaviourof Piled Raft Foundation
Abstract: Piles in piled raft are often considered as settlement reducers, not load bearing members. Theexperimental study focuses on the behaviour of piled raft foundation subjected to vertical load. The model rafts were made of mild steel plateswith plan dimension 160 mm ×160 mm × 10 mm. The model piles used in this test were non-displacement piles of diameter 10 mm.Three lengths of piles were used in the experiment to represent …

Effect on tunnel under varied pile loading using finite element analysis
Abstract: Use of underground space is increasing in densely populated cities. Underground excavation required extensive analysis for ground stability and to ensure the performance of a structure. Specific concerns arise during the design of the underground structures, such as the impact of excavation on nearby ground and existing building in the vicinity of excavation. Above ground structures may subject to disturbances due to any underground construction activity. This paper identifies the …

Effect of Layering of Reinforcement on Bearing Capacity of Shallow Footing Resting on Sand
Abstract: The study was done to investigate the performance of reinforced soil foundation. The construction of reinforced soil foundation has a cost effective alternative to conventional methods. Performance characteristics were improved by using one or more layers of non-woven geotextile placed beneath the footing to create a composite material. The reinforcement in the soil interacts with the soil and is resisted by friction, adhesion or passive / bearing capacity. To study …
