This study was conducted to investigate the permanent settlement of a shallow square foundation in improving the cyclic load-settlement characteristics of reinforced sand. Also, The ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) for unreinforced sand and reinforced sand has been compared. The foundation was initially subjected to an allowable static load and the cyclic load was superimposed on it. Based on the model test results, the ultimate permanent settles is markedly reduced due to geogrid reinforcement.
