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.
