Abstract
This paper represents the laboratory test of sandy bed having relative density 30% and reinforcement width is three times the width of the footing. It is found that the depth of first reinforcement layer (u) more than 0.625B i not beneficial. Bearing capacity and settlement had been measured for u/B = 0.25, 0.4375, 0.625 and for N = 1, 2, 3. The equation for bearing pressure have been generated from practical data.
