In the geotechnical community, macroelement approach nowadays is largely considered to be a successful theoretical tool for solving soil–structure interaction problems. This based on definition of generalised constitutive law putting in relation small number suitably defined stress/strain variables. The formulations proposed literature take into consideration either drained or undrained cases, ...

Classical bearing capacity theory was developed mainly based on spatially uniform soil properties, which cannot account for the influence of inherent variability. If strength is heterogeneous, then using average may overestimate foundations, because failure mechanism preferentially mobilise weaker soils. In this study aim to establish a theoretical model upper-bound solutions applied analysis s...

We review approaches to the chunking and UpWriting of local descriptors.

The objective of this study is to develop data-driven predictive models for peak rotation and factor safety tipping-over failure rocking shallow foundations during earthquake loading using multiple nonlinear machine learning (ML) algorithms a supervised technique. Centrifuge shaking table experimental results on have been used the development k-nearest neighbors regression (KNN), support vector...

The consequences to structures caused by permanent fault displacement have been investigated for dip-slip faulting, but not the effect of embedment depth on interaction between a normal rupture and shallow embedded foundation. This study foundation using numerical model validated with centrifuge experiments. It was found that gapping mechanism distress occurred at different positions relative o...
