Bearing Capacity of Footing on Reinforced Bottom Ash
Abstract
Tons of coal has been burned daily to meet the energy requirement. As a consequence, huge amount
of coal ash has been produced as waste material. At present day, recycling and reuse of waste
material is favorable and also economical from engineering aspect. In the present experimental study,
an attempt has been made to study the bearing capacity of footing on geotextile reinforced bottom
ash. From the results obtained in the present paper it is found that the values of ultimate bearing
capacity of footing on reinforced bottom ash increases about 1.5 to 2.34 times than unreinforced case
for number of layers of geotextile sheets (N) = 1 to 3.
