Performance-based design of strip foundation considering the full effect of ground improvement

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management
Ground improvement is an effective way to improve the bearing capacity of a shallow foundation. However, the benefit of reducing uncertainties in soil parameters for shallow foundation design is rarely recognized. This study investigated the full effect

Study of displacements of a bridge abutment using FEM

Studia Geotechnica et Mechanica, 2016
Steel sheet piles are often used to support excavations for bridge foundations. When they are left in place in the permanent works, they have the potential to increase foundation bearing capacity and reduce displacements; but their presence is not ...

Influence of vibrations on structures [PDF]

, 2018
One type of occasional structural load is a seismic load. Earthquakes and blasts are typical sources of vibrations, but vibration generated during urban tunnel construction can represent a significant problem.

Macroelement modeling of shallow foundations

, 2008
The paper presents a new macroelement model for shallow foundations. The model is defined through a non-linear constitutive law written in terms of some generalized force and displacement parameters.
