EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL BEHAVIOR OF SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS ON SAND REINFORCED WITH GEOGRID AND GRID ANCHOR UNDER CYCLIC LOADING

There are many cases where the foundations of structures are subjected to cyclic loading in addition to static loading. Oil reservoir foundations with frequent discharges and lling or road embankments under repeatable trac loads are examples of such foundations. Although the amplitudes of the cyclic load is usually less than the permissible static load, the concern still exists for the amount of uniform and non uniform settlement of such...
