Reinforcement over soft soils with high-strength geogrids

Construction on soft foundation soils is often associated with poor bearing capacity, excessive differential settlement, and a tendency for instability due to lateral sliding. Poor ground conditions at construction sites is frequently a cause for construction delays and long project durations. This article discusses the alternative that may be employed to achieve the objectives of construction projects under these conditions.. They include 1. bypassing the poor ground by relocating the project to a more suitable location, 2. removing and replacing unsuitable soils, 3. modifying the soils at the site or by removing, treating, and replacing it, 4. design modifications to the planned structure to accommodate the existing soils/ground.
