Following the popularity of the previous edition, Shallow Foundations: Bearing Capacity and
Settlement, Third Edition, covers all the latest developments and approaches to shallow …

Design of shallow foundations subjected to dynamic loading is an important topic in the
geotechnical engineering practice. In this study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the …

In this study, the evaluation of static and seismic bearing capacity factors for a shallow strip
footing was carried out by using the method of characteristics, which was extended to the …

Earthquake-resistant design of earth retaining structures like retaining walls, earth dams and
foundations are very important problems to minimize the devastating effect of earthquake …

In this paper, the seismic bearing capacity of a strip footing sitting on rock masses has been
investigated following the upper bound theorem of limit analysis. The generalized tangential …

The seismic bearing capacity factors for shallow strip footings embedded in slo** ground
with general c-ϕ soil are found out by using the limit equilibrium method. The seismic forces …

The seismic bearing capacity of shallow strip foundations in the vicinity of slopes was
investigated by the use of the lower bound limit analysis in conjunction with the finite …

Most of the seismic calculations currently used for the evaluation of seismic bearing capacity
are formulated in terms of a linear Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion. However, experimental …

The ultimate bearing capacity of foundation placed on a slope is significantly affected by its
vicinity to the slope face, which offers substantially lesser passive resistance as compared to …

The node-based smoothed finite element method (NS-FEM) is shortly presented for
calculations of the static and seismic bearing capacities of shallow strip footings. A series of …
