CRITICAL DEPTH: HOW IT CAME INTO BEING AND WHY IT DOES NOT EXIST (1995)
This paper discusses the fallacy of the concept of the critical depth. The fallacy is due to neglecting residual loads in full-scale tests and stress-scale effects at model-scales, made measured load distribution appear linear below a certain "critical" depth. It is concluded that interpretations of results made in the light of the critical depth concept can result in unsafe designs.
