Abstract
The paper studies the influence of introducing a geosynthetic to into a geotechnical structure composed of a granular fill overlying a soft soil strata. It is shown that the geosynthetic component effectively reduces the magnitude of the settlement due to loads carried by the system through increasing the lateral confining pressure in the granular fill. The study is an extension of a previous study by the same authors, which presents a general model of the layered system and which reduces to Winkler, Filenko—Borodich and Pasternak models for particular cases.
