A simplified method for predicting the settlement of circular footingsn on multi-layered geocell-reinforced non-cohesive soils

摘要

Multiple layers of geosynthetic reinforcement, placed below foundations or in the supporting layers of road pavements, can improve section performance through several mechanisms, leading to reduction in stresses and deformations. This paper aims to present a new analytical solution, based on the theory of multi-layered soil system to estimate the pressure settlement response of a circular footing resting on such foundations, specifically those containing geocell layers. An analytical model that
