| Özet |
| In this pioneering study, the performance of an eccentrically loaded strip footing on geocell-reinforced sand was assessed with instrumented laboratory model tests in terms of pressure-settlement response, surface displacement profiles, failure mechanisms and ultimate bearing capacity considering load eccentricity, geocell height, geocell material stiffness and the relative density of the soil. The results indicated that strip footings on the geocell-reinforced sand outperformed those on unreinforced soils, with up to a 6.5-fold increase in the bearing capacity and significant improvements in the initial slope of the pressure-settlement curve. Furthermore, the strip footing under centric loading on the geocell-reinforced loose and dense sand exhibited either only punching or local shear failure while load eccentricity on the strip footing could lead to the shear failures including punching, local and general. In this research, both a design chart for predicting failure modes of geocell-reinforced strip footings and a new interpretation method to evaluate ultimate bearing capacity were proposed. Increasing the relative density of the soil and material stiffness enhanced the ultimate bearing capacity of geocell-reinforced strip footings under both centric and eccentric loading conditions, with stiffer materials resulting up to 25% increase. However, increased geocell height had no significant impact on bearing capacity. |
