The evaluation of the bearing capacity strip footings generally assumes that soil is either dry or fully saturated, which contradicts actual condition in nature where often a partially saturated state. Furthermore, infiltration has significant impact on shear strength soil. Following upper bound theory limit analysis, this article provides theoretical framework for assessing under transient flo...

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...

In engineering mathematics, the unsaturated nature of soil has a significant impact on seismic bearing capacity solution. However, it generally been neglected in published literature to date. Based kinematic approach limit analysis, present study proposes method for calculating shallow strip footings located soils, taking four common types soils as examples. The modified pseudo-dynamic (MPD) is...

Abstract Seismic bearing capacity of strip footings in cohesive soil slopes considering various embedded depths is investigated this study. Novel solutions using pseudo-static method and finite element limit analysis (FELA) with upper bound (LB) lower theorems are presented. The influences footing depth, slope angle, height, undrained shear strength acceleration on failure mechanisms examined d...

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...

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....
