Abstract: This article examines the response of soil slopes under adjacent embedded strip foundations, subjected to increasing vertical load due to the gravity load of buildings. The study also considers slopes under closely spaced ...

Abstract: In this paper, seismic bearing capacity factors for shallow strip foundations embedded in homogeneous c-ϕ soil slopes are presented. A numerical study is performed using finite-element limit analysis (FELA) with lower bound ...

Abstract: AbstractUnreinforced masonry (URM) infills are widely used as partitions in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. The torsion due to asymmetric placement of infills is often unnoticed because the stiffness and strength of ...

Abstract: Abstract In this study, design forces in well foundations located on flat and sloping terrains were evaluated under the application of combined vertical (V), horizontal (H), and moment (M) loading. The distribution of ...
