A novel solution for the problem of modelling of soil reinforced with vegetation roots. An extension of the Nor–Sand model and its application to granular saturated or dry, soil–root composites. Model implementation in MATLAB: numerical simulations of drained triaxial compression tests, investigation of the sensitivity of the solution to different values of model parameters. Capturing the most important features of soil–root composites. Accounting for the progressive activation of the root’s strength. Indication of the ability of further model application to large-scale problems, such as slope or dune stability.

Soil reinforcement by means of geogrid is an effective method of increasing the ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) of granular soils. In this study a new system, created by adding cubic anchors to ordinary geogrids, is introduced to increase the UBC of granular soils. This system is called “grid-anchor” (G-A). To analyse the performance of the G-A system in increasing the UBC of granular soils, 45 experimental tests and 9 field tests were performed, the results of which show that the G-A system is 1.8 times more capable than ordinary geogrids in increasing the UBC in square foundations. Furthermore, the failure of soil reinforced by the ordinary geogrid takes place at a settlement of 9% of the foundation width, while the same value for the G-A system is almost 13%.
