Abstract Footings are constructed closely to each other in mountainous rock areas and the determination of spaced bearing capacity footings on masses has become an important topic recent research. The primary aim this paper is determine efficiency factor, just like design a pile group, that can be used evaluate Hoek–Brown mass. advanced finite element limit analysis upper lower bound theorems s...

Ring footings are widely used as a foundation for water tanks, television antennas, silos, chimneys, oil storage etc. This paper is conducted to study the ring footing model's experimental cyclic behavior and circular resting on sandy soil reinforced with geocell. A group of ninety-six test models has been tested investigate shallow footings' beneath loading various rates. Four shapes sand thre...

A series of centrifuge liquefaction tests have been conducted at C-CORE’s geotechnical centrifuge facility: two on variable soil and one on uniform soil deposits. A single storied frame structure resting on two strip footings was also placed on that soil deposit. Experimental results such as accelerations, excess pore water pressures (EPWP) and settlements were monitored throughout the tests. R...

Abstract Shell folded footings have drawn the interest of researchers for decades as an alternative to typical flat isolated because can reduce needed amount reinforced concrete in addition enhancing overall geotechnical performance supporting soil medium. The main setback utilizing such is relatively complex geometry bottom cavity, which requires proper compaction used fill that cavity. Curren...
