Abstract: The ultimate bearing capacity of a strip footing on soil reinforced by a trench has been studied in the framework of limit analysis. Existing contributions were reviewed and were compared with numerical results predicted ...

Abstract: Soil anchors are commonly used as foundation systems for structures requiring uplift resistance such as transmission towers, or for structures requiring lateral resistance, such as sheet pile walls. To date, most anchor ...

Abstract: Sinkholes are surface depressions or shafts resulting from the collapse of a submerged cavity in soil. The cavities that lead to sinkholes form as a result of underlying geology in limestone areas, or as a result of human ...

Abstract: This paper investigates slope stability and produces a set of stability charts for three-dimensional (3D) slopes for a specific case in which frictional fill materials are placed on purely cohesive clay. As slopes are not ...

Abstract: Slope stability analysis has traditionally been performed using a deterministic approach. However, it has strongly been debated that the use of only the factor of safety in slope stability analysis does not explicitly ...

Abstract: In this paper, numerical limit analysis and semianalytical rigid block techniques are used to investigate the effect of the tunnel spacing on the stability of two circular tunnels excavated side by side. The tunnels are ...

Abstract: Soil anchors are commonly used as foundation systems for structures that require uplift or lateral resistance. These types of structures include transmission towers, sheet pile walls, and buried pipelines. Although anchors ...
