ANALYTICAL AND MODEL STUDIES OF REINFORCEMENT OF A LAYER OF GRANULAR FILL ON A SOFT CLAY SUBGRADE

The effectiveness of geogrid reinforcement, placed at the base of a layer of granular fill on the surface of soft clay, has been studied by small-scale model tests in the laboratory. A finite element computer program has been specially formulated to allow inclusion of a thin reinforcing layer, and t...
