Abstract
Laboratory-model test results for the bearing capacity of a strip foundation supported by a sand layer reinforced with layers of geogrid are presented. Based on the present model test results, the bearing-capacity ratio with respect to the ultimate bearing capacity, and at levels of limited settlement of the foundation, has been determined. For practical design purposes, it appears that the bearing-capacity ratio at limited levels of settlement is about 67–70% of the bearing-capacity ratio calculated on the basis of the ultimate bearing capacity.
