Abstract

Soil reinforcement is a recent and special field of soil improvement. It covers a range of techniques, which consists of placing inclusions in soil. The most studies devoted partly or totally the behavior of foundation on reinforced subgrade without regarding the basic characteristics of the reinforced soil. So, the paper presents an experimental investigation into the mechanical and compressibility properties of the reinforced silty clay samples by jute cloth Geotextile (JGT) at intermediate depth, also, the paper studied numerically the effect of JGT reinforcement on the bearing capacity of footing on silty clay soil using Plaxis software. The effects of the reinforcement on shear stress and shear failure were studied. The results indicated that the presence of such reinforcement has a considerable effect in increasing the shear strength of the reinforced samples, decreasing compressibility and increasing bearing capacity of foundations constructed on reinforced soil.
