The probabilistic bearing capacity of the strip footing placed near a two-layered cohesive
soil slope is evaluated using random adaptive finite element limit analysis with anisotropic …

This paper describes recent advances in stability analysis that combine the limit theorems of
classical plasticity with finite elements to give rigorous upper and lower bounds on the …

The formulation of limit analysis by means of the finite element method leads to an
optimization problem with a large number of variables and constraints. Here we present a …

Soil anchors are commonly used as foundation systems for structures requiring uplift
resistance, such as transmission towers, or for structures requiring lateral resistance, such …

Soil anchors are commonly used as foundation systems for structures that require uplift or
lateral resistance. These types of structures include transmission towers, sheet pile walls …

As the offshore engineering moving from shallow to deep waters, the foundation types for
fixed and floating platforms have been gradually evolving to minimize engineering costs and …

The bearing capacity of shallow foundations may decrease when located near slopes,
particularly under seismic conditions. However, there is limited work that isolates the …

Rigorous plasticity solutions for the ultimate bearing capacity of a strip footing resting on a
sand layer over clay soil are obtained by applying advanced upper and lower bound …

Model Uncertainties in Foundation Design is unique in the compilation of the largest and the
most diverse load test databases to date, covering many foundation types (shallow …

A conical slope is widely used in many constructions of in situ piles, piers, footings, mat
foundations, raft foundations, energy storages, or water tanks since this unsupported …
