The Soil Reinforcement to Support Building Foundations
Keywords:
Structural safety, Stability, Foundation performance, Geotechnical engineering, Soil reinforcementAbstract
Soil reinforcement is a crucial technique in geotechnical engineering to improve the strength, stability, and load-bearing capacity of soil for supporting building foundations. Weak or loose soil can lead to structural failures, differential settlements, and long-term instability, necessitating the use of various reinforcement methods such as geotextiles, geogrids, soil nailing, and deep soil mixing. This research explores the effectiveness of different soil reinforcement techniques in enhancing foundation performance, analyzing their impact on soil strength, settlement reduction, and overall structural integrity. Through field studies and laboratory testing, the study evaluates the suitability of reinforcement methods for different soil types and load conditions. The findings provide valuable insights into cost-effective and sustainable soil stabilization techniques, offering practical recommendations for engineers and builders to optimize foundation design and construction. This research contributes to the development of resilient and durable building foundations, minimizing risks associated with poor soil conditions and ensuring long-term structural safety
