Abstract AR
يستعرض هذا البحث النتائج لدراسة مختبرية لتقدير قابلية التحمل لتربة رملية مفككة بعد تسجيلها بال (geogrid).
و قد تمت دراسة تأثير بعض العوامل لغرض الحصول على التصرف العام للتربة المحسنة بال (geogrid) و تشمل هذه العوامل الانحراف المركزي، عمق الطبقة الأولى من التسليح، و المسافة العمودية بين طبقات التسليح.
و قد بينت النتائج إلى أن هنالك عمق أمثل لطبقة التسليح الذي يعطي أعلى قابلية تحمل، زيادة نسبة (Z/B) (المسافة العمودية لطبقة التسليح / عرض الأساس) أكثر من 1.5 ليس لها تأثير على نسبة التحسين للتربة، كما تم الوصول إلى معادلة بسيطة لإيجاد نسبة التحسين للتربة المسلحة.
Abstract EN
This paper presents the results of experimental investigations to predict the bearing capacity of square footing on geogrid-reinforced loose sand by performing model tests.
The effects of several parameters were studied in order to study the general behavior of improving the soil by using the geogrid.
These parameters include the eccentricity value, depth of first layer of reinforcement, and vertical spacing of reinforcement layers.
The results of the experimental work indicated that there was an optimum reinforcement embedment depth at which the bearing capacity was the highest when single-layer reinforcement was used.
The increase of (z / B) (vertical spacing of reinforcement layer/width of footing) above 1.5 has no effect on the relative improvement for the soil and the relative improvement (%) of the reinforced soil can be predicated by using a simple equation.
