Abstract

The problem of improving foundation bases in strongly deformable and structurally unstable soils is examined. A design is proposed for a sand cushion reinforced with horizontal geosynthetic elements. The results of the operation of the proposed structure with basal soil as well as approaches to determining the maximum resistance force and the deformation of a base improved by such a structure are presented.
