Influence of the Foundation Width on the Bearing Capacity Factor

Soils and Foundations, 1988
ABSTRACT As shown by de Beer, the bearing capacity factor Nr decreases with increasing foundation width. It is demonstrated that this scale effect can largely be attributed to the influence of pressure level on the friction angle ϕ. By means of improved triaxial tests with large samples, an empirical relation is proposed among the angle of friction ...

Capacity Utilisation in Irish Manufacturing [PDF]

Capacity Utilisation (CU) measures play an important role in practical economic analysis. Variation in the extent to which existing capacity is being utilised provides an indication of how the supply side of a particular industry, sector or economy is ...
