This paper presents a method to estimate the bearing capacity of a strip footing embedded in a geosynthetic reinforced granular bed over soft non-homogeneous ground, i.e., increase of undrained shear strength with depth, stabilized with granular trench. Madhav and Vitkar’s solution for bearing capacity of granular trench-supported strip footing in soft ground together with Meyerhof’s punching failure mechanism for dense sand overlying soft clay, extended to include the effect of axial tension in the reinforcement, form the basis of the analysis. A parametric study is performed and charts are developed to quantify the contributions of various parameters on the degree of bearing capacity improvement. The results of the present study are compared with experimental results from literature.
