Abstract: Anchor foundations of various embedment ratios, shapes, and sizes are frequently used in civil engineering structures to provide uplift resistance. Therefore, to achieve economic and safe design of such foundations, engineers ...

Abstract: In this study, three-dimensional finite element models, incorporating an elastoplastic material model coupled with isotropic simple softening law, nonassociated flow rule, and shear-band effect, are validated for the ...

Abstract: The use of floating stone columns (FSCs) has recently been adopted to improve the stability of thick soft clay deposits, though their behavior is not yet fully understood. To provide a comprehensive understanding, field ...
