Laboratory model test results for the ultimate bearing capacity of strip and square foundations supported by sand reinforced with geogrid layers have been presented. Based on the model test results, the critical depth of reinforcement and the dimensions of the geogrid layers for mobilizing the maximum bearing-capacity ratio have been determined and compared. Key words : bearing capacity, geogrid, model test, reinforced sand, shallow foundation.

Laboratory model test results for the ultimate pullout resistance of vertical square anchors embedded in saturated or near saturated clay have been presented. The undrained shear strength of the clay and the embedment ratio of the anchors have been varied. Based on the model test results, an empirical parametric relationship for estimation of the ultimate pullout resistance of shallow and deep square anchors has been presented.

The load-bearing capacity of a weak clay subgrade can be increased by placing a strong granular base course of limited thickness on top of the clay layer. The load-bearing capacity can be increased further, or the thickness of the granular base course can be reduced, by separating both layers by a geogrid. Laboratory model test results for the ultimate bearing capacity of a rigid strip loading on the surface of a granular soil underlain by a soft clay with a layer of geogrid at the interface of the two soils are presented. The optimum thickness of the granular soil layer and the critical width of the geogrid layer required to derive the maximum benefit from the reinforcement were determined. Model test results on the permanent settlement of the rigid strip load caused by cyclic loading of low frequency are presented.

A laboratory model test of tunnel anchor was conducted to investigate its pullout mechanism and bearing capacity. Surface and rock deformation, strain and stress were measured during the entire model test process. The results show that: under pull out load, tensile failure first occurs in top surface rock near the anchor, then shear failure occurs in anchor-rock interface and rock around the anchor. The failure surface is inverted cone from the anchor bottom. Under 50 times design cable force tunnel rock is in elastic stage, suggesting that current tunnel anchor design is quite conservative and can be further optimized.

A case history of both reinforced and unreinforced embankments on soft subsoil built-to-failure is described and analyzed. The effect of geotextile reinforcements on embankment behavior is discussed by comparing the field and numerical analysis results of cases with and without reinforcement. The results of a laboratory model test on the behavior of embankments on soft subsoil are discussed. Both field and laboratory tests, as well as analysis results, indicate that the reinforcement had a positive effect on embankment stability. However, at a working state (for a factor of safety of FS = 1.2~1.3) the reinforcement did not have an obvious effect on the subsoil response. The effect of reinforcement on subsoil deformation could be noticed only when the unreinforced embankment was close to failure. The laboratory model test results indicated that if the reinforcement is stiff and strong enough, the effect of reinforcement is considerable. It is suggested that although the geotextile has a beneficial effect on embankment over soft subsoil due to its relative lower stiffness, to achieve a substantial improvement on embankment behavior, the stiffer and stronger reinforcements should be used. This case history also demonstrated that the rate of lateral displacement and excess pore pressure development are sensitive indicators of the stability of embankment on soft subsoil.Key words: embankment, reinforcement, soft ground, field tests, laboratory tests, FEM analysis.
