The paper defines an updated method for “soil – reinforced concrete foundation” calculation that takes into account their mutual interaction. In this method, both the foundation structure and footing are represented by a rigid-plastic model, which makes it possible to determine bearing capacity of system. This eliminates possibility destruction from punching exhaustion its capacity. It further ...

This study intends to examine the behavior of a GRS wall with static footing loading above it, while varying positions footing. For such complex structure, finite element modeling is handy and enables look into various stress/strain developed in numerical model. In view above, series (FEM) simulations using software (Optum G2) performed for analysis wall. The governing parameters, as width (B),...
