Abstract
A series of large scale plate loading tests are performed to assess bearing capacity characteristic of dredged and reclaimed ground that is reinforced by bamboo net and geotextile as a surface strengthen method. Bearing capacity ratio is distributed from 3.46 to 6.03 for bamboo net and from 2.19 to 3.59 for Geotextile In case of bamboo net, BCR was obtained from 1.6 to 1.7 times than Geotextile. As the comparison of each bearing capacity from test and theory shows, bearing capacity theory for geotextile was not suited for bamboo net. The bearing capacity analysis reinforced by bamboo net shows a good relationship between sand mat thickness (H) / bamboo net space (S), and bearing capacity ratio (BCR).
