Thermal power stations using pulverised coal as fuel, generate large quantity of ash as waste by product, which poses dual problem of environment and disposal. Flyash is a versatile material with many possible applications such as land filling and in land reclamation of low lying areas. An experimental investigation has been carried out to study the behaviour of compacted ash overlying sand dep...

The aim of the present numerical study was to analyse pressure settlement behaviour and bearing capacity asymmetric plus shaped footing resting on loose sand overlying dense at varying embedment depth. investigation carried out using ABAQUS software. effect depth embedment, friction angle upper lower layer thickness studied in this investigation. Further, comparison results made between symmetr...

An experimental study of the effect of silt and influence of cell confinement on the bearing capacity of circular footings on silty sand was carried out. Laboratory experiments on clean sand and sand containing silt up to 25 % were performed. Cells with different heights and diameters were used to confine the silty sand. The effect of proportion of silt in sand, cell diameter, cell height and t...

This article examines the performance of Minimax Probability Machine Regression (MPMR) for prediction of settlement(s) of shallow foundation on cohesionless soil. MPMR maximizes the minimum probability that future predicted outputs of the regression model will be within some bound of the true regression function. Width of footing (B), net applied pressure (q), average Standard Penetration Test ...

By modeling soil as a three-dimensional spatially random material, the reliability of shallow rectangular footings against serviceability limit state failure in the form of excessive settlement can be estimated. The methodology to be used is the 3-d random finite element method (RFEM) which combines finite element analysis with random field theory, where the mean, the standard deviation and the...

Ring footings are widely used as a foundation for water tanks, television antennas, silos, chimneys, oil storage etc. This paper is conducted to study the ring footing model's experimental cyclic behavior and circular resting on sandy soil reinforced with geocell. A group of ninety-six test models has been tested investigate shallow footings' beneath loading various rates. Four shapes sand thre...

The load–deformation relationship under the footing is essential for foundation design. Shallow foundations are subjected to changes in hydrological conditions such as rainfall and drought, affecting their saturation level conditions. actual load–settlement response design reconstructions determined experimentally, numerically, or utilizing both approaches. Ssettlement computation performed thr...
