the problem of a footing on slope is encountered regularly in engineering practice, with some noteworthy examples being bridge abutments and basement excavations. in this paper, the bearing capacity of a footing replaced near a slope crest was studied. model tests were carried out using square model footing of 100 mm width. a tank 0.3 m deep, 0.6 m wide, and 0.9 m long was used for the model be...

This paper delivers a probabilistic attempt to prove that the selection of random three-dimensional finite element (FE) model subsoil affects computed settlements. Parametric analysis soil block is conducted, assuming variable Young’s modulus in particular elements. The represented by field or different-sized sets variables; both cases, same truncated Gaussian assumed. Mean values and standard ...

Collapsibility of gypseous soils may cause excessive settlement and severe damage to engineering structures. Many improvement methods have been employed reduce the collapsibility these soils, such as by using physical or chemical additives. The improved has conventionally evaluated odometer test, which not accurately replicate field conditions because small size test specimens. In this research...

Abstract Safe bearing capacity (SBC) may be estimated for cohesive soil using the IS Code it is essential to conduct shear tests in order identify angle of internal friction and cohesion, SPT determine N-value soil, as well dry density relative soil. The SBC per settlement criteria laboratory evaluations its properties. This study suggests use ANFIS predict Bearing Capacity a function foundatio...

Increasing settlement and post-settlement survival during the critical transition from planktonic larvae to benthic juveniles will increase efficiency for sea urchin aquaculture. This study investigated the effects of temperature and settlement cues on the settlement and post-settlement survival of the sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla during this phase. The current commercial methodology, which ...

The load-deformation observation under the footing is essential for foundation design. Either experimental methods or numerical modelling generally determines this phenomenon in engineering practices. This study determined settlement of shallow foundations on Multi-layer soil profile numerically. behavior was investigated through with Plaxis 2D. site Jamshoro region, located province Sindh, Pak...

As known, in a Winkler type of analysis the soil medium underneath foundation is violently replaced by row parallel springs having constant ks. For effective calculation latter, which called modulus subgrade reaction, two elastic constants (the modulus, E and Poisson’s ratio, ν) must be known. Although for homogenous soils this generally seems not to problem, same does stand stratified mediums ...

There can be many reasons for engineers to place the footings near a slope such as leakage of suitable sites or architectural considerations. One of the approaches to increase the amount of bearing capacity, especially in soft soils, is adding stone columns to the soil. In this research, the behavior of a strip footing placed near a stone column reinforced clayey slope was investigated. For thi...
