Eceentrically loaded Rectangular footing on Geogrid-reinforced silty sand

shallow footing

In many cases foundation subjected to eccentric load which results in reduction of bearing capacity of soil. The paper investigate the reduction factor for silty sand which is reinforced by geogrid under the effect of eccentric load. for the present study two type of rectangular footing are used. Two, three and four numbers of geogrid layers are provided and three type of eccentric load are used for present study i.e. e/B equals 0.05, 0.10 & 0.15. from the laboratory test results, the reduction factor and also called empirical relationship which is the ratio of ultimate bearing capacity of eccentrically loaded footing to that of centrally loaded footing have been determine.
