It was concluded that both depth of the void and number of geogrid layers have significant influence on footing behavior. It was observed that the maximum footing settlement was increased by three times for cyclic loading in comparison to static load. The study was performed by varying void depth, number of reinforcement layers and loading magnitude. (2013) analyzed strip footing placed over a void in sand bed under static and cyclic loadings. Geocell reinforced subgrade showed better performance as compared to geogrid reinforced subgrade. Tafreshi and Dawson (2010) compared the improvement in the performance of the pavement reinforced with different types of geosynthetics under repeated loading. Thus, the subgrade soils should be tested under cyclic loads before construction of pavement. The dynamic loadings with varying amplitudes and frequency cause permanent deformations in subgrades ( Leng and Gabr, 2002 Saride et al., 2015 Abu-Farsakh et al., 2016 Suku et al., 2016 Elleboudy et al., 2017). However, the behavior of reinforced pavement sections under repeated wheel loads was studied by very few researchers. Many researchers have highlighted the beneficial effects of geosynthetic reinforcements in foundation applications under static and dynamic loadings ( Tafreshi and Dawson, 2010 Asakereh et al., 2013 Hegde and Sitharam, 2013 Abu-Farsakh et al., 2013 Elsaied et al., 2015 Chen and Abu-Farsakh, 2015 Saride et al., 2015 Abu-Farsakh et al., 2016 Hegde and Sitharam, 2016 Suku et al., 2016 Elleboudy et al., 2017 Sahu et al., 2018). This deformation of subgrade layer generally caused due to the wheel load. The rut formation is observed in flexible pavements due to deformation of the subgrade layer. The depression of the roadway surface is commonly known as the rut. The geosynthetic reinforcements reduce the settlements and increase the load-carrying capacity of the subgrade soils. It also helps in distributing stresses uniformly over a broader area. These are extensible inclusions and impart strength with increased interface friction and confinement of soil. Planar geotextiles (woven and non-woven), geogrids, and three-dimensional geocell reinforcements are used to strengthen the weak subgrades. Reinforcing weak soils with geosynthetics and metallic strips are very much acceptable in current construction practices ( Gabr and Han, 2005 El Sawwaf and Nazir, 2010 Chen and Abu-Farsakh, 2015 Abu-Farsakh et al., 2016 Sahu et al., 2018). Repetitive load application causes large settlements in substructure, which ultimately causes failure in the structure. The dynamic effects are generally considered as a fraction of static loads but act repetitively. These loads are of static as well as dynamic in nature in case of highways, railways, runways, machine foundations, and live loads for storage tanks, etc. The modern geotechnical design practices ensure that the structures should be founded on soils which can perform satisfactorily under different kind of loads. In overall, a good agreement was observed between numerical and experimental results. Besides, numerical simulations were performed using PLAXIS 2D to understand pressure and settlement distribution patterns in the reinforced subgrade. The measured pressure values at different depth demonstrated a significant reduction in the pressure in the presence of reinforcements. The three-dimensional geocell reinforcement performed effectively as compared to planar geogrids under dynamic load. Further, the heaving of the subgrade soil was found completely arrested with the use of geosynthetic reinforcement. The estimated parameters illustrated the three-fold reduction in settlement of the subgrade in the presence of reinforcement. Results of the experimental investigations revealed that the performance of the subgrade soil improved significantly in the presence of reinforcements. The vehicle load was simulated by applying a repeated load of magnitude 275 kPa with 1 Hz frequency on the reinforced subgrade. The cyclic plate load tests were conducted on the sand subgrade reinforced with planar and 3D geosynthetic reinforcements. The present study describes the experimental and numerical studies performed on the geosynthetic reinforced subgrade subjected to repeated vehicle loads. Use of the geosynthetics to strengthen the soil is one of the highly desirable techniques under static and dynamic loads. 2Research Scholar, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Patna, Patna, India.1Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Patna, Patna, India.
