The paper pertains to the behavior of small-scale model studies on stripfootings subjected to vertical loading resting on the surface of a wrap aroundreinforced vertical soil walls with sand backfill. Finite element analysis (using Plaxis2D version 8 software) of the soil wall was also made to find its response and thepredicted values were then compared with experimentally observed values. Effect ofthe number of reinforcement layers on the overall response was studied. Comparisonof the predicted horizontal displacement of the vertical wall face and bearingcapacity of the footing resting on the same showed reasonable agreement with theexperimental data.
