This study presents the behaviour of model footing resting over unreinforced and reinforced sand bed under different loading conditions carried out experimentally. The parameters investigated in this study includes the number of reinforced layers ( N  = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4), embedment ratio ( D f / B  = 0, 0.5, 1.0), eccentric and inclined ratio ( e / L ,  e / B  = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15) and ( a  = 0°, 7°, 14°). The test sand was reinforced with bi-axial geogrid (Bx20/20). The test results show that the ultimate bearing capacities decrease with axial eccentricity and inclination of applied loads. The test results also show that the depth of model footing increase zero to  B  ( B  = width of model footing), an increase of ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) approximated at 93%. Similarly, the multi-layered geogrid reinforced sand ( N  = 0 to 4) increases the UBC by about 75%. The bearing capacity ratio ( BCR ) of the model footing increases with an increasing load eccentricity to the core boundary of footing; if the load eccentricities increase continuity, the  BCR  decreases. The tilt of the model footing is increased by increasing the eccentricity and decreases with increasing the number of reinforcing layers.
