The lowering of the groundwater table causes the area above the water table to become unsaturated and capillary phenomena to appear in this zone. This means that the bearing capacity of shallow footings will be influenced by capillary stress or matric suction. In this research, the effect of groundwater table lowering on the bearing capacity of a shallow square model footing on dense sand has b...

Ultimate bearing capacity calculation is one of the most important factor to design foundations in geotechnical engineering. In this paper, ultimate values were calculated with finite element and analytical methods compared. A case study Bozozuk (1972) article used for evaluations. On 30 September 1970, 600-ton weight concrete silo suddenly overturned failure. After failure, in-situ Vane shear ...

In order to study the bearing performance of new prefabricated airport pavement panel (PAPP) structure, a three-dimensional finite element model (3D-FEM) “square PAPP – stratum” was established based on ABAQUS analysis platform, and then mechanical deformation under single wheel various limit load positions carried out. The research showed that influence radius less than side length R panel, ma...

Bu çalışmada, Amasya İli, Merkez İlçesi’nde inşaası yapılan konut türü yapı için temel zemini ıslahında uygulanan derin zemin karıştırma yönteminin incelemesi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Derin yöntemi, mevcut problemli zeminlere çeşitli mekanik şaftlar vasıtasıyla katkı maddelerinin (bağlayıcı) enjekte edilerek karıştırılması esasına dayanır. Yöntem, kohezyonsuz zeminlerde genel olarak taşıma kapasit...
