The grid mat method to increase bearing capacity of subgrade soil

The investigation will be conducted on cohesive soil produced from kaolin powder. The grid mat will made by different shapes, i.e., triangular and square, and made of materials such as steel. Each model testing will consist of two stages; consolidation stage and loading stage. In the consolidation s...
