Indian geotechnical journalSummary: Due to their disposal issues, the waste materials are a major worry for the globe. The thermal power facilities generate a significant quantity of pond ash, which provides a disposal challenge and is not ecologically friendly. To mitigate these issues, these waste materials can be used as the replacement of construction material for the cost optimization. The present work is basically focused to analyze the effect of sand replacement on load carrying capacity of pond ash using plate load test. Furthermore, the comparison results were presented, for both jute geotextile and geogrid corresponding to various embedment depth below base of footing. The study found that there was maximum enhancement in density of deposit corresponding to 15% sand replacement and this proportion can be utilized in the preparation of foundation bed. The general shear failure was observed during failure in experimental investigation. Additionally, it was examined that adding multiple layers of jute geotextile and geogrid enhanced the bearing capacity of foundation bed. The ideal depth to embed a single layer of jute geotextile and geogrid underneath the footing was found to be 0.3B and 0.5B, respectively.
