Abstract: Embankment stability issues present design and research challenges to geotechnical engineers. Current design methodologies for the stability of embankments on columns are mainly evaluated under assumptions of a shear failure ...

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 ...

Abstract: In this technical note, the seismic bearing capacity coefficients of shallow foundations placed on soft ground reinforced by stone columns are evaluated based on the upper-bound theorem of limit analysis. A kinematically ...

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 ...
