Model Tests of Strip Foundation with FRP Reinforced Sand Grounds

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) materials have good performance such as high strength, high modulus, corrosive resistance, and so on. FRP materials can be used to reinforced reinforcement effects significantly and improve durability of traditional reinforcements. A series of model tests were conducted on foundations reinforced with horizontal FRP reinforcemens. The influence of reinforcement modes on bearing capacity, settlement, strain of FRP and earth pressure were analyzed. From the test results, it was shown that the FRP reinforcement can significantly increase the bearing capacity and reduce the settlement, especially for double-layer reinforcement. And the effects of the anchoring inclusions were little, as compared with the reinforcements.
