Abstract

With rapid enhancement in infrastructure development, the availability of competent land goes on reducing. By developing techniques of ground improvement, the weak soil can be converted into competent acceptable soil condition. A geosynthetic in the form of planar or three-dimensional or combination of both has been used in the field. In this manuscript, an effort has been made to study an effect of inclusion of geogrid, geocell or geotextile on bearing capacity of soil. It is found that there is considerable enhancement in load-carrying capacity of soil and also observed reduction in displacement of footing. The results of grid and anchorage-reinforced soil have found more sustainable solution than soil with geogrid because of large vertical confined zones and substantial improvement in reinforcement factor. The use of geosynthetic reinforcement has also been observed in embankment construction, railway track application, etc.
