Estimating the Bearing Capacity of a Square Footing on a Geogrid-Stabilised Granular Layer over Clay Using the Finite Element Method

The bearing capacity of a square footing on an unstabilised and geogrid-stabilised granular layer over clay is estimated using finite element techniques in ABAQUS (a commercial finite element software). The model incorporates a range of soil parameters and layer thicknesses. The two-layered soil sys...
