Design and Development of a New Physical Model of Strip Footings on Reinforced Soil Media Under Cyclic Loadings

To design the engineering structures properly, some relevant information is required main part of which can only be obtained from modeling them. Physical modeling, if carried out carefully, can present such valuable information in connection with structural behaviors that may implement to calibrate the numerical modeling or to verify the designing assumptions. In geotechnical problems however, the physical modeling, due to their inherent complexity and dependency to many factors, are of great importance and may submit very useful and crucial data. In this paper, a new physical model capable for studying the behavior of strip footings on reinforced soil under monotonic and cyclic loadings is presented. The design criteria and specification of different
