3d bearing capacity analysis of shallow foundations on layered soils using discrete element method
Authors
abstract
distinct target of this paper is development of 'implicit discrete element method (dem)' in three dimensions for estimating the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations on layered (non-homogeneous) soils consisting of sand overlying sand or clay overlying sand and vice versa with different shear resisting parameters. in this method, shear resisting parameters and density of each layer is used separately for that layer and involves in calculating internal and external forces. comparisons are made with classical methods where ever applicable.

three dimensional bearing capacity analysis of shallow foundations using discrete element method
in the current study, an effort is made to determine three dimensional bearing capacity of rectangular foundations using discrete element method. the soil mass is modeled as discrete blocks connected with winkler springs. different factors affect the geometry of failure surface. six independent angles are used to define the failure surface. by trial and error, the optimum shape of failure surfa...

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 ...

Determining the ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) is vital for design of shallow foundations. Recently, soft computing methods (i.e. artificial neural networks and support vector machines) have been used for this purpose. In this paper, Random Forest (RF) is utilized as a tree-based ensemble classifier for predicting the UBC of shallow foundations on cohesionless soils. The inputs of model are wi...
