The bearing capacity factors for a rough strip footing placed on rock media, which is subjected to pseudo-static horizontal earthquake body forces, have been determined using the lower bound finite element limit analysis in conjunction with power cone programming (PCP). mass assumed follow generalized Hoek-Brown (GHB) yield criterion. No assumption needs be made smoothen GHB criterion and conve...

Industrialization and urbanization have run into situations where the construction of buildings is close to each other. This closeness arises due restricted available space in a practical manner. Such situation was reason for cause footing same adjacent structures coming closer. condition causes interference effects, soil-structure interaction, stress zone impact behave differently other than c...

We put forward what we believe to be a novel strategy to achieve synthetic nonlinearities where local and nonlocal contributions compete on a similar footing, thus yielding intermediate tunable responses ranging from local to strongly nonlocal. The setting addressed is a semiconductor material with both Kerr and thermal nonlinearities illuminated by a pulse train with suitable pulse width and r...
