Abstract :
Geosynthetics use in earthworks has been
widely accepted as an additional material to strengthen
unstable soil-structures. Geosynthetics are a promising
alternative to be used for repairs, accelerations, savings in
construction related to soil, as if geosynthetics are a
"magic pill" that can solve all geotechnical problems
instantly. One form of geosynthetic is geotextile as a
reinforcement and holding the ground. This study aims to
analyze the effect of length (Bq), depth (d) and distance
configuration (h) of each geotextile layer on variations in
loading (q) and density variations that provide maximum
carrying capacity. The research was testing the physical
model in the laboratory, this test was carried out with and
without geotextile reinforcement on soil media.
Examin[ation and characteristic checks are carried out in
the Soil Mechanics Laboratory of the Civil Engineering
Department. The results show that the placement of
geotextile layers can contribute to changing the
mechanical characteristics of the reinforced soil, more
optimal L/B distance and closer h/B distance, this
increases the carrying capacity of the soil under shallow
foundations and reduces the settlement that occurs
(higher carrying capacity
Keywords :
