Modeling of parameters of bearing capacity of the reinforced road surface

The subject of the article is to assess the effectiveness of using the reinforcement system in road construction (surface, foundation, subgrade), treated as the multilayer system of granular soil. In the first part of the paper the authors use analytical models of friable layers of soil with horizontal inserts in order to evaluate the bearing capacity of the reinforced road surface, basing on results of the experimental research realized on physical models on a laboratory scale. The second part takes the form of a diagnosis as regards the possibility of quantitative estimations of the bearing capacity, and provides the bases of procedures aiming at the assessment of the bearing capacity of the reinforced soil by means of advanced methods and approaches in geotechnical engineering and theoretical mechanics.
