Semi-deep foundations are a viable option when the soil under the foundation is loose and
extended to a significant depth, also, when traditional methods of improvement are not …

Gypseous soils are considered one of the most problematic soils. The skirted foundation is
an alternative technology that works to improve the bearing capacity and reduce settlement …

The term loosely skirted foundation is used to describe the geogrid skirts that are positioned
beneath the footing. This technique enhances soil performance and reduces costs when …

This work investigates experimentally the effect of using a skirt with a square foundation of
100 mm width resting on dry gypseous soil (ie, loose soil with 33% relative density), and …

Geotechnical engineers are currently confronted with the challenge of identifying innovative
and efficient approaches to increase bearing capacity and minimize foundation settling. As a …

Skirts are used to increase the carrying load capacity of shallow footings on clay soil by
confining the clay underneath and preventing plastic deformation. The current study …

The phrase" skirted foundation" refers to shallow foundations having vertical or slo** thin
structural components known as" skirts" that restrict the soil beneath their foundation, to …

Civil engineers are constantly develo** innovative methods to improve the bearing
capacity and reduce settlement of footing rest on the soil. The skirted foundation is one of the …
