摘要
In the present study, an approximate method has been suggested to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of a square footing resting on reinforced layered soil. The soil is reinforced with horizontal layers of reinforcement in the top layer of soil only. The pre requisite to the method is the ultimate bearing capacity of unreinforced layered soil, which can be determined from the methods already available in literature. The results have been validated with the model tests conducted on two layered soil compacted at different densities and the top layer reinforced with horizontal layers of geogrid reinforcement. © Springer 2006.
