This paper investigates response of triangular shell strip footings situated on the sandy slope. A series of reduced-scale plate load tests were conducted to cover different parameters including three shell footing types with different apex angles in addition to a flat footing, four different distances for strip footings from the crest of the slope namely “edge distance” and reinforcement statu...

Compared with the amount of research undertaken on vertical-bearing piles in karst areas, there are fewer studies stability horizontal-bearing (e.g., anti-slide and supporting piles), little way theoretical developments. In order to study influence cave front under pile anti slide pile, this designs orthogonal test, carries out numerical simulation by using ABAQUS finite element analysis softwa...

a subject of the investigation is the behavior of concrete and reinforced concrete columns under different loading conditions. the experimental study comprised a great number of tests on hinged - end columns with slenderness ratio within 35 and 155 subjected to both short and long - time loads applied at different eccentricities. the strength of concrete and the steel percentage varied in a wid...

This paper presents a numerical study that utilizes finite element analysis under the plain strain condition performed on sand with isolated strip footing and two closely spaced footings above continuous void. The Bearing Capacity Ratio (BCR) efficiency factor ζγ were introduced to determine effect of void ultimate bearing capacity footing/s. influence various parameters including spacing (S/B)...

The cofferdam method is generally applied in the construction of underwater pier foundation bridge engineering, and pouring bottom sealing concrete one important links cofferdam. can prevent water seepage balance main body cofferdam, its structural size quality have a great influence on above functions. Under condition large level difference, it difficult to determine reasonable thickness concr...
