Abstract Soil reinforcement is a recent and special field of soil improvement. It covers a range of techniques, which consists of placing inclusions in soil. The most conferences devoted partly or totally the behavior of foundation on reinforced subgrade without regarding the basic characteristics of the reinforced soil. So, the paper presents an experimental investigation into the mechanical and compressibility properties of the reinforced silty clay samples by jute cloth at intermediate depth. The effects of the reinforcement on shear stress and shear failure were studied, also, the presence the reinforcement on behavior of consolidation process was distinctly described. The laboratory tests were supported by the finite element analysis to identify only the consolidation process and explained the effect of the reinforcement on the effective vertical stress and pore water pressure. The results indicted that the presence of such reinforcement has a considerable effect in increasing the shear strength of the reinforced samples and decreasing the compressibility especially decreasing the soil movement also, relief both the effective and pore water pressure.
