One of the most important factors for designing a safe foundation is amount bearing soil capacity and allowable settlement according to type structure. Therefore, in geotechnical engineering, aim improve foundations' many ways, some which are expensive, other section difficult implement sites. Skirted foundations consider as an ideal solution cost-wise tolerance by reducing materials installati...

Abstract The current study aims to investigate the effects of swell pressure on bearing capacity swelling soil. A model and some laboratory tests have been created effect variation soil due pressure. influence varying water content w / c dry unit weight (γ d ) shear strength was studied. has taken from Diwan Residential Compound-Mosul. It is classified as highly soils at their natural reached 3...
