Abstract In this paper, the application is designed for calculation of bearing capacity using SPT values as per IS code 6403. Accordingly, various input parameters that govern soil are value (N, depth Footing, width foundation, length footing, cohesion, unit weight, angle inclination, types and water table. The programmed in java language android studio 2.3 version. proposed illustrated by diff...

This paper presents the assessment of consolidation and creep settlements an isolated circular footing supported on soft clay samples reinforced with a single granular column. Clay (300 mm dia., 400 high) were formed from reconstituted kaolin remoulded sleech (exhibiting significant creep). These tested using chambers various features to capture settlement under constant foundation loading. In ...

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...

This paper presents the results of modeling tests of the Effect of Confinement Pressure on footing bearing capacity of two kinds of square and strip footing. Footings bearing capacity depends upon many factors including soil kind, depth, form and kind of loading. Soil behavior is variable regarding the kind of loading and the kind of deformations in that can have great importance in the amount ...

Proper estimation of foundation settlement is a crucial factor in designing shallow foundations. Recent literature shows the applicability of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in predicting the settlement of shallow foundations. However, conventional ANNs have some drawbacks: getting trapped in local minima and a slow rate of learning. Utilization of an optimization algorithm such as Particle S...

This paper presents a case study of geotechnical design of bridge foundations and approaches in hilly granite formation in northern New South Wales of Australia. Firstly, the geological formation and existing cut slope conditions which have high risks of rock fall will be described. The bridge has three spans to be constructed using balanced cantilever method with a middle span of 150 m. After ...
