Abstract:
Geofoam is an industrial material, characterized by a very light unit weight compared to soil (average of 20 kg/m3). Geofoam materials are defined as any light weight material that is applied, placed or mixed in the soil. This paper presents the usin g of Geofoam as a light-weight-fill material under eccentric strip footings on soft clay soil to improve bearing capacity, reduce settlements and decreasing the angle of tilt through footing. ABAQUS software package (version 6.8.1) is used to model the problem and evaluate the total settlement under the eccentric strip footing. The constitutive model for the soft clay soil is the modified Cam-Clay yield criterion. ABAQUS finite element program is used to investigate the effect various parameters including width, thickness and density of EPS blocks and the spacing between strip footings under eccentric load which varying from 0.0 m to 0.5 m with increment of 0.10 m. numerical results show that the using of Geofoam as a light weight material of soft clay under eccentric strip footing could be used efficiently to limit foundation settlement of lightly loaded strip footings within tolerable values, without the need for other more expensive soil improvement schemes or deep foundations
