The aim of the present numerical study was to analyse pressure settlement behaviour and bearing capacity asymmetric plus shaped footing resting on loose sand overlying dense at varying embedment depth. investigation carried out using ABAQUS software. effect depth embedment, friction angle upper lower layer thickness studied in this investigation. Further, comparison results made between symmetr...

This technical note investigates the effect of footing embedment depth on tunnel–structure interaction using geotechnical centrifuge testing. A 2-story framed building separate footings, either resting directly surface or embedded in soil, and subjected to tunneling-induced displacements is modeled. Measurements footings underlying ground deformations, structural distortions are presented. Resu...

There is a growing interest world-wide in the development of a rational reliability-based geotechnical design code. The reason for this interest is a least two-fold; first of all, geotechnical engineers face uncertainties which are commonly significantly larger than those faced in other fields of engineering and so there is a need to properly characterize and deal with this uncertainty. Secondl...

This content analysis study, employing a multimodal perspective and critical visual analysis, set out to analyze gender representations in Top Notch series, one of the highly used ELT textbooks in Iran. For this purpose, six images were selected from these series and analyzed in terms of ‘representational’, ‘interactive’ and ‘compositional’ modes of meanings. The result indicated that there are...

Control conditions were introduced through the trial of Mesmerism in Paris. Placebo controls became codified standard in 1946. Although seemingly unchallenged, there are various problems with this received view. The notion of a placebo is only defined from the negative. A positive notion proposed that placebo effects are effects owing to the meaning an intervention has for an individual. Thus, ...

In the present paper, interference effects on bearing capacity of two and three closely spaced strip footings resting granular bed overlying clay are being studied. A simple analytical model is proposed to predict load-carrying factor an interfered footing, when adjacent optimally placed surface a Granular Bed (GB) both simultaneously loaded. punching shear failure mechanism envisaged in model....
