An estimate of bearing capacity coefficient Ny for a strip footing is made using the kinematical approach of limit analysis. This approach leads to an upper bound on the true limit load when the calculations of the three terms in the bearing capacity formula ...

Results of finite element analysis of settlement for footings of three sizes placed in two different sand types show that the settlement in sand is a direct function of neither footing size nor soil density. Instead, the settlement should be related to the ...

<p>When properly placed, rebar and welded wire fabric (WWF) in a slab on grade provide many advantages, some of which can be achieved in no other way.</p>

<p>This manual prescribes the criteria for the design of concrete floor slabs on grade in buildings for heavy loads and is applicable to all elements responsible for military construction. Heavy loads in buildings such as warehouses include moving loads, stationary ...

While bearing capacity of footings has been a widely researched area, only recently have rigorous solutions to square and rectangular footings been attempted. A finite element analysis of square and rectangular footings over two-layer clay foundation soil ...

<p>This paper describes current developments in both experimental techniques and theory. The research is mainly aimed at suction caisson foundations but the general approach is equally applicable to other types of offshore and onshore shallow foundations subjected ...
