Abstract
This note presents an experimental study concerning a method of improving the bearing capacity of strip footing resting on sand subgrades utilizing vertical nonextensible reinforcement. The test results indicate that this type of reinforcement increases the bearing capacity of subgrades and modifies the load–displacement behaviour of the footing. Key words: bearing capacity, nonextensible reinforcement, loading tests, strip footing, reinforcing element.Keywords
