Abstract: This study conducted a series of trapdoor tests to investigate the soil arching effect in cohesive soils, which are commonly encountered in engineering practice but have not been previously investigated in the existing ...

Abstract: This study used adaptive finite-element limit analysis (AFELA) to calculate the undrained bearing capacity of strip footings placed adjacent to two-layered slopes. Both the upper bound (UB) and the lower bound (LB) of the ...

Abstract: This study employed finite element limit analysis (FELA) to investigate the influence of eccentric loads on the bearing capacity of footings above single and double continuous voids. Upper bound theorem (UB), lower bound ...
