Abstract: There is no established procedure for the calculation of bearing capacity of a shallow foundation system comprising cojoined footings. Ad hoc approaches are relied on and may simply involve summing the ultimate limit states ...

Abstract: A foundation system may involve more than a single footing with an arrangement such that the footings are sufficiently closely spaced that adjacent footings interact. Vertical, horizontal, and moment capacity of multifooting ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effectiveness of the effective area method (EAM) for assessing the undrained load-carrying capacity of rectangular foundations under combined vertical (V), horizontal (H), and moment loading (M) ...

Abstract: Understanding the soil resistance along an embedded anchor chain is imperative for efficient and economic design of an overall mooring system as it determines the magnitude and direction of the load at the padeye of the ...
