يهدف هذا البحث بشكل أساسي لدراسة الفائدة المثلى من استخدام الشرائح الجيوتكنيكية المصنعة (Geogrid) كتسليح لتحسين قدرة تحمل التربة و تخفيض الهبوط تحت الأساسات المستمرة المنفذة على تربة غضارية. لتحقيق هذا الهدف تم إجراء نمذجة عددية بطريقة FEM، لدراسة سلوك التربة المسلحة تحت الأساس، و لإجراء دراسة بارامترية لأهم العوامل المؤثرة على قدرة تحمل التربة و أهمها موقع طبقة الجيوغريد تحت الأساس. و قد أظهرت نتائج التحليل العددي أن إضافة طبقة تسليح إلى التربة يمكن أن يحسن من قدرة تحمل التربة بشكل واضح كما أنه يؤدي إلى تخفيض الهبوط الناتج تحت الأساس، و إن التشوه الحاصل في شرائح التسليح مرتبط بشكل مباشر بالهبوط، و وضع التسليح في التربة المسلحة يؤدي إلى توزيع للحمولات على مساحة أكبر و يؤدي إلى الإقلال من تركيز الإجهادات و يسبب توزع أفضل لهذه الإجهادات. و هذه الإعادة في توزيع الإجهادات تحت طبقات التسليح تؤدي إلى تخفيض الهبوط في الطبقات ذات قدرة التحمل الضعيفة التي تليها.
This research study aims at investigating the potential benefits of using the reinforcement to improve the bearing capacity and reduce the settlement of strip footing on clay. To implement this objective, many numerical 2D-analyses by finite element method / Plaxis program were performed to study the behavior of reinforced soil foundation. And then we carry out a parametric study of the most effective parameter on bearing capacity. The results showed that the inclusion of reinforcement can significantly improve the soil’s bearing capacity and reduce the footing settlement. The strain developed along the reinforcement is directly related to the settlement. The results also showed that the inclusion of reinforcement can redistribute the applied load to a wider area, thus minimizing stress concentration and achieving a more uniform stress distribution. The redistribution of stresses below the reinforced zone can result in reducing the settlement of the underlying weak clayey soil.

This research study aims at investigating the potential benefits of using the reinforcement
to improve the bearing capacity and reduce the settlement of strip footing on clay. To
implement this objective, many numerical 2D-analyses by finite elemen
t method / Plaxis
program were performed to study the behavior of reinforced soil foundation. And then we
carry out a parametric study of the most effective parameter on bearing capacity. The
results showed that the inclusion of reinforcement can significantly improve the bearing
capacity and reduce the footing settlement. The strain developed along the reinforcement is
directly related to the settlement. The results also showed that the inclusion of
reinforcement can redistribute the applied load to a wider area, thus minimizing stress

In present investigation attempt has been made to study the bearing capacity and settlement
characteristics of footings subjected to central vertical load and resting on layered soil with
the help of model tests and with the application of finite e
lement method (FEM) to
calculate bearing capacity of a strip footing on one-layer and two-layer soil (Sand and
Clay). To investigate the effect of various parameters on soil bearing Capacity a
commercial finite element software, PLAXIS, has been used. Soil profile contains two soil
types including sand and clay. Soil behavior is represented by the elasto-plastic Mohrcoulomb
(MC) -model. For a one-layer case, the bearing capacity also is calculated which
has a good agreement with theoretical equations. For a layered soil, soft-over strong soil,
parametric study was carried out. It is concluded that the bearing capacity of footing
decreases as the height of clayey soil increases whilst the displacement under footing
increases. There is a critical depth where the stronger bottom layer does not affect ultimate
bearing capacity and failure mechanism of footing.
Walls piles supported with Anchors are considered one of most ways of engineering supporting widespread. This research includes studying the behaviorof walls pile, through a numerical parametric study using the (plaxis / 2D) program. the study includ
es the most influencing factors which include:(the angle of the inclination, the vertical spacing between the rows of Anchors andthe distance of the first row of anchors from the ground surface). The effect of these factors on the stability of the wall was studied.Where they give the best effect to the anchors and ensure the best possible positioning which contributes to reducing the economic cost of this constructions.
Supporting tunnel face by Fiber glass pipes technology is an effective method to
maintain the stability of tunnel face, thus reducing surface settlements, face deformation
and maintaining the safety of the workers and the mechanisms used in tunneli
ng.
This paper presents the results of finite-difference numerical analyses (FLAC3D program)
on the behavior of a shallow tunnel face reinforced by longitudinal fiber glass pipes. A 3D
numerical model has been calibrated and used to demonstrate the effectiveness of this
technique, and perform a parametric study to determine the critical reinforcements
parameters (the density (number of pipes)(A) and length (L)). The results indicate that the
face reinforcement technique using longitudinal fiber glass pipes can significantly reduce
the movements (face displacement and surface settlements), and thus improving the face
stability. These movements decrease by increasing the length of the pipes and increasing
the density of the pipes until reaching the critical density, and when we reach the critical
length, the pipes must be renewed to maintain the stability of the tunneling process.
Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) is increasingly applied in
earthquake engineering and geotechnical problems, because of simple field
procedures, time and cost saving. It can allow for maximum areal coverage,
thus reduces the number o
f needed boreholes.
This study illustrates the importance of the use of active and passive MASW
to measure the average shear wave velocities of the upper surface layers (upper
30m) of the city of Irbid in North Jordan by integrating the outputs of the
active and passive approaches, and by investigating the relationship between
the estimated average shear wave velocity with the following geotechnical
variables, Bearing capacity, depth of embedment, and soil thickness.
