Abstract: Conventional bearing capacity analyses for shallow foundations placed on slopes use a modified set of bearing capacity factors based on soil properties, footing geometry, and slope configuration, but are restricted to ...

Abstract: Conventional stability analyses use various limit equilibrium (LE) methods to determine the minimum, critical factor of safety and its associated failure mechanism. These methods generally assume that collapse will follow ...

Abstract: The influence of spatial variation in undrained shear strength is an important practical consideration for assessing the stability of excavations or natural slopes. Prior research has focused on slope stability in normally ...

Abstract: This study proposes a limit equilibrium approach to estimating the bearing capacity of strip footings placed on geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures (GRSSs). To assess the multiple mechanisms that may govern the ultimate ...

Abstract: This paper demonstrates the use of a centrifuge modeling technique in studying slope instability. The slope models were prepared from sand, and sand mixed with 15 and 30% fines by weight, compacted at optimum water content. ...
