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.

Abstract The paper deals with evaluation of bearing capacity of strip foundation on random purely cohesive soil. The approach proposed combines random field theory in the form of random layers with classical limit analysis and Monte Carlo simulation. For given realization of random the bearing capacity of strip footing is evaluated by employing the kinematic approach of yield design theory. The results in the form of histograms for both bearing capacity of footing as well as optimal depth of failure mechanism are obtained for different thickness of random layers. For zero and infinite thickness of random layer the values of depth of failure mechanism as well as bearing capacity assessment are derived in a closed form. Finally based on a sequence of Monte Carlo simulations the bearing capacity of strip footing corresponding to a certain probability of failure is estimated. While the mean value of the foundation bearing capacity increases with the thickness of the random layers, the ultimate load corresponding to a certain probability of failure appears to be a decreasing function of random layers thickness.

Through the experiments of four concrete composite slabs under static loading to compare their flexural properties (deflection, bearing capacity, failure mode), this paper discusses the influence of composite slabs flexural behavior on different length of additional bars and sectional effective height. The results showed that they will improve the bearing capacity effectively by reasonably increasing the sectional effective height and controlling the length of additional bars.
