Abstract: The primary focus of the present article is to evaluate the bearing capacity of ring footing placed over two-layered soils and subjected to vertical loadings applied over certain portions of the footing, namely, inner half, ...

Abstract: The present article aims to understand the consolidation of unsaturated soil enclosed by semipermeable drainage boundaries and subjected to nonlinear water flow. The transient process of fluid flow is governed by the ...

Abstract: Bearing capacity factors because of the components of cohesion, surcharge, and unit weight, respectively, have been computed for smooth and rough ring footings for different combinations of

Abstract: The lower bound limit theorem in conjunction with finite elements is used to quantitatively estimate the pseudostatic bearing capacity of a rough strip footing placed on geogrid-reinforced sandy soil. The objective of this ...

Abstract: This article deals with the load-bearing capacity of strip foundations resting on unsaturated sands and subjected to eccentric and inclined loading. The numerical simulations are performed by modifying the conventional ...
