This study evaluates the effects of a water table on the behavior of a geogrid reinforced soil-footing system on marine soft soil layers in Qeshm Island, Iran. The main aim of this research is to recommend the optimum specification of the reinforced soil-footing system. A series of geotechnical tests were adopted to measure the properties of the soil profile. The impacts of the water table and the geogrid layer specifications were evaluated by the finite element analysis to investigate the system's behaviors. Finally, the optimal reinforced soil footing is suggested.
