| description abstract | This paper reports results from centrifuge model tests that provide insight into the behavior of rectangular foundations (representing earthmoving equipment) during penetration, with freedom in rotation, adjacent to a sand embankment (cover layer), into a weaker clay layer (representing mine tailings). A parametric study was used to explore the relevant range of the setback ratio, slope height ratio, normalized clay strength and its nonhomogeneity, and foundation base geometry. The effect of these nondimensional parameters on the penetration resistance profile is discussed in the context of the likelihood and severity of failure. The failure of a flat-based rectangular foundation was less severe than that associated with a strip foundation, and the corresponding measures reduced with the increasing setback ratio ( | |
