Provision of adequate structural footing in building infrastructures is sensitive and highly challenging. Thus to alleviate the challenges subject task, a model was developed for simulating behavior pad rectangular on cohessionless soil under action vertical load. The approach purely mathematical techniques modeling, concept application. A governing equation theoretically formulated based speci...

Directional variability of spatial correlation is observed in natural soils due to their depositional characteristics and it influences the response of structures founded on these deposits. Nonetheless, the results presented in most of the available literature are based on the assumption of either isotropic spatial correlation or perfect spatial correlation of soil properties in horizontal and ...

This study proposes an innovative mathematical formula that uses multigene Genetic Programming (GP), a recently developed soft computing technique, to predict the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations on cohesionless soils. The real performance of previously developed approaches is also investigated. The multigene GP-based formula was calibrated and validated using an experimental da...

Vibrated stone columns are frequently used as a method of reinforcing soft ground as they provide increased bearing capacity and reduce foundation settlements. Their performance in relation to bearing capacity is well documented, but there is also a need for enhanced understanding of their settlement characteristics, particularly in relation to small-group configurations. This paper presents re...

Abstract This paper aims to study the behaviour of a circular footing resting on two granular layers, i.e., dense sand layer loose strata, subjected vertical and an inclined loading (?=0°, 10°, 20°, 30°) using finite element (FE) software PLAXIS-3D. The Mohr-Coulomb criterion is employed for analysis model, in which parameters are considered vary significantly; (1) thickness top (dense layer) (...
