Modeling of the cyclic behavior of shallow foundations resting on geomesh and grid-anchor reinforced sand

Storage tank foundations with frequent discharges and filling or road embankments under repeated traffic loads are examples of foundations subjected to the cyclic loading with the amplitude well below their allowable bearing capacity. The concern exists for the amount of uniform and non-uniform settlement of such structures. The soil under such foundations may be reinforced with geosynthetics to improve their engineering properties. This paper...
