A finite element program based on elastic –plastic model of Mohr-Coulomb criterion was used to evaluate the bearing capacity coefficients of soil under shallow strip flexible footing . The results were compared with others’ analytical results and it was found that the present study could offer quite consistent and rather precise values for the bearing capacity coefficients . The effect of d...

this research examines the behavior of soil-reinforced piles and applied loads based on the analytical method and by using the numerical results of flac3d software for comparison with the analytical results. the analysis was based on a method called virtual retaining wall, the following into consideration: an imaginary retaining wall that passes the footing edge the bearing capacity of footing ...

Settlement estimation of a footing located over buried conduit in sloping terrain is challenging task for practicing civil/geotechnical engineers. In the recent past, advent machine learning technology has made many traditional approaches antiquated. This paper investigates viability, development, implementation, and comprehensive comparison five artificial intelligence-based models, namely mul...

The use of column-like elements for improving both the settlement performance and bearing capacity foundations constructed over soft soils is well understood large groups columns supporting an infinitely wide load, such as embankments slabs. However, little still lightly loaded, low-rise structures supported by pad on a finite number stone columns, particularly when crust layer present at top s...

Two groups have studied the loss of limbs in snake evolution by focusing on a long-distance cis-acting enhancer of Sonic Hedgehog. They find a progressive degeneration of binding sites for key transcription factors, mirroring the progressive limblessness occurring in these reptiles.

In the recent past, potential benefits of wraparound geosynthetic reinforcement technique for constructing reinforced soil foundations have been reported. This paper presents experimental study on behaviour model strip footing resting sandy bed with in and planar forms under monotonic repeated loadings. The layers were laid according to ratio minimise scale effect. It is found that same amount ...

A soil nailing system is a proven effective and economic method used to stabilize earth slopes from the external (factors increasing shear stress) internal decreasing material strength) failure causes. The laboratory models with scales of 1:10 are study behavior nailed slope different building foundation parameters. consist Perspex strips as facing steel bars increase stability slope. sand beds...
