There are challenges associated with determining the actual behaviour of soil foundation
due to its heterogeneous nature especially when subjected to an imposed loading. This has …

Abstract Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method is adopted to overcome the large
mesh distortions near the footing corners under ultimate loading conditions. The reliability of …

This study presents an ultimate bearing capacity formulation of strip foundations in
unsaturated soils within the framework of the Meyerhof theory. The flowchart of calculation …

It is important and meaningful for understanding the geomechanical properties of rock and
providing guidance on analyzing and simulating the formation processes of engineering …

In this paper, the impact of a rigid layer on the bearing capacity of a strip footing in cohesive
and frictional soils is investigated. The presence of a rigid layer has been found to effectively …

Many statements about the quality of a numerical model can only be made by including the
appropriate experiments (eg the quantification of the statistical uncertainties of model input …

We report on experimentally measured drag force experienced by a solid cylinder
penetrating a granular bed of glass beads including, specifically, a highly polydisperse …

Based on the limit equilibrium theory, an accurate approach is proposed to solve the
ultimate bearing capacity of shallow strip footings under general conditions. The foundation …
