RESTRAINT EFFECTS ON DEFORMATION OF SOFT FOUNDATION WITH GEOTEXTILE ---PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THEORY AND PRACTICE OF EARTH REINFORCEMENT, FUKUOKA, KYUSHU, JAPAN, 5-7 OCTOBER 1988

This study investigates the effects of geotextile on the two dimensional displacement and increase the ultimate bearing capacity of a model of a saturated clay foundation (120 cm long, 25 cm wide and 47 cm high) by carrying out a plate bearing test. The geotextile is placed on the surface of this model foundation. The rate of loading is controlled at 0.2 mm/minute to simulate the drained condition. When using geotextile, observed values of displacement and ultimate bearing capacity are compared with those calculated by the finite element method (ffm) and with those observed in natural state (without use of geotextile). For the covering abstract of the symposium see IRRD 818063.
