Abstract: This study investigated active and passive lateral earth pressure in the presence of anisotropic seepage conditions. The soil was assumed to be granular and fully saturated. Three methods were used to solve the problem: ...

Abstract: Using the generalized Hoek and Brown yield criterion, the stress characteristics method (SCM) was used to evaluate in a very accurate manner the bearing capacity of smooth and rough ring foundations placed over rock media. ...

Abstract: The ultimate bearing capacity of a strip footing placed horizontally over the edge of a sloping rock mass has been determined on the basis of the stress characteristics method (SCM) using the generalized Hoek–Brown yield ...

Abstract: In this study, the differential quadrature method (DQM), a mathematically simple, accurate, and computationally efficient numerical tool, was employed to analyze the response of single piles under dynamic axial loading. ...
