Abstract

A slope near the construction area is a problem for the geotechnical engineers. The paper studies the effect of reinforcing soil near slopes. Laboratory model has been designed and manufactured. The investigated parameters include vertical static (monotonic) loading, geogrid reinforcement, inclination of the slope of soil and the distance from the edge of slope to edge of foundation. The experimental results showed that the presence of a geogrid layer in sloped soil increased the foundation bearing capacity by a percent depending on the slope angle and the distance from edge of slope to the edge of foundation.
