Abstract-The study pertains to the investigation of the effect of embedment on the load carrying capacity and settlement of strip
foundations on sand reinforced with geogrids. Geogrid being an inextensible reinforcing material is widely used all over the world
mainly for retaining walls, abutments slope protection and below the foundation in poor soil. Some research works have been done the
investigators regarding the optimum placement of geogrids below surface footing however, the work on centrally loaded embedded
foundations reinforced wi
