Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to investigate and quantify the load-carrying capacity of square footings supported by foundations made of geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS). A significant area of research in geotechnical engineering is the estimation of the burden-carrying limits of square feet laying on geosynthetic reinforced soil foundations as a green building technology. This research aims to investigate the load-carrying capacity of square footings supported by geosynthetic reinforced soil foundations, with a particular focus on how these foundations can be used in environmentally friendly building methods. Geosynthetic-supported soil establishments are implicitly reasonable holders. A square footing is set on geosynthetic reinforced soil in a loading frame and compressed. (Group 1: GRS system with 6 cm reinforcement spacing, N = 17; Group 2: GRS system with 4 cm reinforcement spacing). For test size estimation, the pre-test power and certainty spans were set at 80% and 95% separately. The GRS foundation system with 4 cm reinforcement spacing outperforms the GRS foundation system with 6 cm spacing in tests. Closer reinforcement spacing improves square footing bearing capacity. The results of this study will add to upgrading the comprehension of geosynthetic-supported establishment frameworks and their true capacity as an innovation for developing green structures. The discoveries will give significant bits of knowledge to specialists, planners, and development experts in planning feasible and harmless to the ecosystem structures while guaranteeing underlying respectability and security.
