Abstract: In this paper, upper bound limit analysis that includes a horizontal pseudostatic seismic force is used for the first time to obtain the limit load on strip footings seated on cohesive-frictional soils reinforced with a ...

Abstract: The ideal notion of footings placed in isolation is rarely implemented in practice and footings are often placed adjacent to each other, interfering with one another's performance. In this paper, the lower-bound finite-element ...
