Finite Element Analysis for Bearing Capacity of Prefabricated Arch Culverts

three-dimensional analysis of bearing capacity of square footings on convex slopes by finite element method

soil slopes are sometimes curved in plan rather than being straight. this curvature,especially when it is convex, decreases the bearing capacity of the slope. finite element methodhas been used here in this research to investigate the reducing effect of curvature on bearingcapacity of a slope. failure of soil has been assumed to be according to mohr-coulomb criteria;but the flow rule of the soi...

Evaluating the Soil Bearing Capacity Coefficients by Means of a Finite Element Program Based on Elasto - Plastic Mohr - Coulomb Behavior

A finite element program based on elastic –plastic model of Mohr-Coulomb criterion was used to evaluate the bearing capacity coefficients of soil under shallow strip flexible footing . The results were compared with others’ analytical results and it was found that the present study could offer quite consistent and rather precise values for the bearing capacity coefficients . The effect of d...
