Abstract: Although mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls typically require a reinforcement length-to-wall-height ratio of 0.7, the use of short reinforcement may be inevitable in certain situations, such as building MSE walls ...

Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of the anisotropic variability in soil on the failure mechanism and the ultimate bearing capacity of foundations that are placed near slopes. A random adaptive ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the bearing capacity of vertically loaded rigid footings adjacent to slopes with spatially random soil by performing random adaptive finite-element limit analysis. The solution is illustrated by ...
