Abstract

The seismic performance of geogrid-reinforced soils in earthquakes was examined using published data from previous cases. The study summarizes the lessons learned from seismic interpretation and potential failure mechanisms and shows the latest physical model testing conducted using the Shaking table. In this specific laboratory test, there is variability between the reinforced soil's seismic response and the foundation's behavior. This research overviews the analytical and numerical techniques for evaluating liquefaction, settlement, and bearing capacity in reinforced soil. The present review was presented to investigate the dynamic load influence on the presence of shallow foundations supported by reinforced soils. Foundation construction costs may drop, and economic sustainability may rise if failures and risks are better managed and reduced. Many kinds of literature were investigated to compile the most comprehensive summary compatible with the research study. Reinforcement Condition is an optimization strategy used when earthquakes occur beneath foundations, increasing bearing capacity and decreasing settlement. Also, this research discusses geogrid reinforcements to increase the resilience of sandy soils against erosion. For decades, researchers have looked into the geogrid impact on the soil during earthquakes, both experimentally and theoretically, and the results of these studies have been analyzed and reviewed. The researchers studied the causes of failure in the soil under the shallow foundations due to earthquakes, increasing settlement, tilt, and the phenomenon of soil liquefaction (Puri and Prakash [35]).
