Seismic Bearing Capacity of a Mounded Foundation Near a Down-Hill Slope by Pseudo-Static Analysis

Variables Characteristics Effects on Static and Pseudo-Static Reliability-Based Design of near Slope Shallow Foundations

Given the concept of reliability-based design (RBD) and the growing risk management trend in geotechnical engineering, proper understanding and quantification of uncertainties are very important. The complexity of methods and a large volume of calculations of probabilistic design methods are the most critical reasons for civil engineers not to be comfortable using these approaches. In this rese...

Bearing Capacity of Strip Footings near Slopes Using Lower Bound Limit Analysis

Stability of foundations near slopes is one of the important and complicated problems in geotechnical engineering, which has been investigated by various methods such as limit equilibrium, limit analysis, slip-line, finite element and discrete element. The complexity of this problem is resulted from the combination of two probable failures: foundation failure and overall slope failure. The curr...
