This paper is intended to add to this framework by detailing key results from an experimental investigation into the response of the foundation subjected to a variety of cyclic loading regimes. The model tests are conducted at 1g using a complex loading apparatus ...

<p>This paper reports the response of circular foundations on very dense sand within the context of plasticity theory. The load and displacement paths are applied using a sophisticated three degree-of-freedom loading rig, designed specifically to explore plasticity ...
