Abstract
In order to investigate the effect of embedment depth on settlement of footing supported by geocell-reinforced bed, a series of cyclic plate loading at a diameter of 300 mm supported by layers of geocell in a test pit of 2000*2000 mm in plane and 700 mm in depth, were performed. The results show that installation of the geocell layers in the foundation bed toward embedded footing supported by one layer geocell has more effect on increasing the resilient behaviour in addition to reduction of accumulated plastic and total settlement of system. The study also compares the embedment depth ratio of one layer geocell reinforcement with two and three layer geocell reinforcement bed with no embedment depth.
