The issue of interaction between nearby footings is paramount practical significance. interference effect should be taken into account since the footing may really separated from or bounded by other on one both sides. In this regard, paper studies two interfering strip embedded in saturated cohesive soils, which will help to provide a better understanding impact depth effect. A numerical study ...

The objective of this research was to improve the bearing capacity soil located on Kampung Juhut Street, Pandeglang Regency, which initially had a 3.01%, through stabilization methods. plastic powder selected as an additive due its non-cohesive characteristics, counterbalance cohesive nature clay soil. study aimed identify type and classification, evaluate impact physical properties, examine ch...

In this study, closed-form solutions are presented for two classical problems: the load exerted on strip or circular trapdoors and stability of tunnel headings in purely cohesive soils, considering both case a constant undrained shear strength linear vertical profile. The based minor modification Gunn's lower-bound plasticity solution. According to comparative numerical stress analyses finite-e...

An Incompletely End Supported Pile (IESP) is a pile in soft soil layer underlain by hard that does not reach the bottom practice. This study estimates end bearing capacity of IESP using an inhouse Rigid Plastic FEM code (RPFEM), considering shear strength non-linearity against confining pressure, and soil-foundation interaction. The effect distance between tip (d/B) on end-bearing was mainly in...

While genotypically-distinct naturalized Escherichia coli strains have been shown to occur in riparian soils of Lake Michigan and Lake Superior watersheds, comparative analyses of E. coli populations in diverse soils across a range of geographic and climatic conditions have not been investigated. The main objectives of this study were to: (a) examine the population structure and genetic related...
