Abstract: The conventional Mohr–Coulomb (M-C) failure criterion is commonly used in existing studies to determine the ultimate pullout capacity of plate anchors buried in cohesive-frictional soils. However, this criterion overestimates ...

Abstract: In this study, limit equilibrium-based semianalytical solution has been developed to compute the distribution of active pressure and the magnitude and point of application of the total active thrust resulting from unsaturated ...

Abstract: In the present study, extensive theoretical solutions in the form of charts have been generated based on a kinematically admissible translational mechanism for computing the passive resistance of cohesive-frictional soil ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the bearing capacity of strip foundations resting on a cohesive-frictional soil sloping ground under both static and seismic conditions by applying the kinematic theorem of limit analysis. With the ...

Abstract: A theoretical study has been performed for evaluating maximum resultant active force exerted by a cohesive-frictional backfill against a rigid wall with inclined back face undergoing outward horizontal translational movement ...

Abstract: An empirical nondimensional reduction factor is proposed in this paper, which can be used for determining the ultimate bearing capacity of eccentrically and/or obliquely loaded shallow strip foundations embedded in sand. ...
