Numerical analysis of the contribution of side resistance to caisson bearing capacity

February 09, 2023

The use of deep foundations is a common practice in geotechnical civil engineering designs, in which the bearing capacity of these foundations occurs by side resistance, tip, or through the combination of both. In the case of caisson, the bearing capacity is often obtained by considering only the resistance of the lower end due to its bell-shaped geomet...

Validation of a 3D numerical model for piled raft systems founded in soft soils undergoing regional subsidence

January 20, 2021

In this paper a 3D numerical model using a software based on the Finite Element Method (FEM), was developed and validated using the results obtained in a geotechnical centrifuge model of a piled raft system founded in soft soils undergoing regional subsidence. The piled raft co...

Numerical Investigations on Seismic Bearing Capacity of Interfering Strip Footings

April 30, 2020
The interaction between footings placed at close proximity affects the ultimate bearing capacity, settlement, and tilt of adjacent footings, especially under seismic loading. This paper reports the numerical finite element analysis to investigate the interference effect on the seismic bearing capacity of closely spaced rigid strip footings for a wide range of fo...

Experimental, numerical, and analytical investigation of the effect of compaction-induced stress on the behavior of reinforced soil walls

July 09, 2020
The influence of the compaction-induced stress (CIS) is experimentally, numerically and analytically evaluated on the behavior of reinforced soil walls (RSWs), under working stress conditions. Experimental studies have been carried out to evaluate the effect of the compaction condition at the back of the block facing on the behavior of geosynthetic reinforced so...
