Abstract: In this study, large-scale physical models with dimensions of (0.9m * 0.9m * 0.55m) have been designed and constructed to investigate the behavior of strip footing in reinforced sandy soil with multi-geogrid layers under inclined and eccentric loading conditions. The effect of several parameters such as geogrid layers (N), soil relative density (RD... Show More
