Rock masses are non-homogenous, discontinuous media composed of rock material and naturally occurring discontinuities such as joints, fractures bedding planes. Due to the presence geological faults planes, compressive strength modulus elasticity jointed mass significantly reduced measurement behaviour these below foundation becomes a challenging task. Previous researches have dealt with bearing...

Stability of foundations near slopes is one of the important and complicated problems in geotechnical engineering, which has been investigated by various methods such as limit equilibrium, limit analysis, slip-line, finite element and discrete element. The complexity of this problem is resulted from the combination of two probable failures: foundation failure and overall slope failure. The curr...

Abstract This paper investigates the use of stability factors for estimating ultimate bearing pressures on cylindrical caissons in cohesive-frictional soils. Rigorous upper and lower bound limit analyses with finite elements axisymmetric (AX) condition are used a series numerical studies. The capacity ( N c 0 , q ? ) surface circular footing firstly revisited. is followed by study effect caisso...

In the simple buildings, shallow foundations can be used to support construction above them. This foundation has various types, including type of footplate which calculated using Terzaghi equation. equation, it requires dimension parameters footing and soil material such as cohesion volume weight laboratory testing obtain it. Meanwhile, Schmertmann provides an equation bearing capacity factor i...

In this paper, the influence of foundation configuration (raft or separate footings) on tunnel–soil–framed building interaction is investigated using geotechnical centrifuge testing. Tunnelling-induced soil movements and deformation fields, framed displacements structure shear distortions (with associated modification factors) are illustrated. Framed stiffness footing bearing capacity also eval...

construction of railway embankments on loose beds without using any methods of soil improvement (e.g. stone columns in silt and clay beds, deep soil mixing method, jet grouting and also using micropiles individually or in groups form) leads to  reduction of embankment slope gradient, which significantly increases the volume of soil operation. generally, micropile as a reinforcing element with t...

In this study, dynamic bearing capacity of adjacent shallow strip foundations located on sandy soil was examined using a numerical finite difference modeling, FLAC. The behavioral interference of shallow strip foundations under different conditions was investigated. The effect of soil strength parameters, geometric characteristics of shallow foundations and cyclic loads at different distance ra...

The change in project cost, or cost growth, occurs from many factors, some of which are related to soil problem conditions that may during construction and/or site investigation period. This paper described a new improvement method with minimum solution by using polymer fiber materials having length (3 cm) both directions and (2.5 mm) thickness, distributed uniform medium dense .sandy at differ...
