Abstract |
|
The present investigation is undertaken to study the effect of encapsulated granular trenches in increasing the bearing capacity and settlement resistance under strip footing. To ensure the most efficient use of granular material, rectangular and triangular trenches of various sizes were tested with sand as replacing material with jute geotextile encapsulation. A correlation between CBR and Plate load test were carried to determine the optimum trench configuration and results shows that rectangular trench is efficient in increasing bearing capacity with an optimum trench depth of 1.5B and trench width of 1.6B. |
