A comparison of the combined load behaviour of spudcan and caisson foundations on soft normally consolidated clay

Experimental data from loading tests of model circular footings on soft normally consolidated clay are presented. The experiments were carried out on a drum centrifuge at a radial acceleration level equivalent to 100 times Earth’s gravity, ensuring conditions of stress similitude between the model and the prototype scale. The aim of the experiments was to compare the undrained response of diffe...

The role of ethical foundations and tolerance of failure in predicting marital adjustment of married women

The present study aimed to determine the role of ethical foundations and tolerance of failure in predicting marital adjustment of married women. This research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the study included all married women referring to cultural centers in East Tehran in 2019, from which 210 people were selected as a sample by accessible sampling using th...

Some Mechanical Properties of Cement Stabilized Malaysian Soft Clay

Soft clays are defined as cohesive soil whose water content is higher than its liquid limits. Thus, soil-cement mixing is adopted to improve the ground conditions by enhancing the strength and deformation characteristics of the soft clays. For the above mentioned reasons, a series of laboratory tests were carried out to study some fundamental mechanical properties of cement stabilized soft clay...

A 3D Discrete Element Analysis of Failure Mechanism of Shallow Foundations in Rocks

In this research work, a 3D numerical modeling technique is proposed based on the 3D particle flow code in order to investigate the failure mechanism of rock foundations. Two series of footings with different geometries and areas are considered in this work. The failure mechanism obtained is similar to that of the Terzaghi’s but there is a negligible difference in between. Lastly, one equation ...
