Abstract: This paper presents the computations of vertical bearing capacity factors Nc, Nq, and Nγ, of the smooth and rough strip, circular and ring footings resting on soil with a friction angle (ϕ) ranging from 5° to 45° using a ...

Abstract: Many researchers have computed the bearing capacity of the strip and circular footings resting on the soil with the low and medium friction angle (ϕ ≤ 35°) by employing the finite-element method (FEM). It is reported that ...
