Localized deformation analysis of reinforced foundation ground
Abstract
This paper describes not only the bearing capacity but also the failure mechanism of reinforced foundation ground using rigid plastic finite element method. Here, the analysis includes the effect of geometry change for the purpose of evaluating the failure mechanism, quantitatively. In order to take into account the reinforcing effect in the analysis, a composite type of model including reinforcing material and the surrounding soil is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by comparing with the results of model loading test.
