Experimental investigation into the influence of zeolite addition on shallow foundations behavior placed on coastal sand of Mazandaran Sea [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2021 The shortcoming of loose sandy soils in terms of shear strength besides placement of a huge number of structures on them drive the critical requirement for exploring the shallow foundations treatment, their positioning and shapes.

Determination of ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations using LSSVM algorithm
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2019 Accurate determination of the ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) of shallow foundations is vital for the safety of structures and buildings. Due to the inherent spatial variability characteristics of soil properties, some new approaches are needed to ...

The Effect of Spatial Variability and Anisotropy of Soils on Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations [PDF]
Civil Engineering Infrastructures Journal, 2014 Naturally occurred soil deposits inherit heterogeneity and anisotropy in their strength properties. The main purpose of this paper is to model the soil stratum with anisotropy consideration and spatially varying undrained shear strength by using random ...

Centrifuge testing to evaluate the liquefaction response of air-injected partially saturated soils beneath shallow foundations [PDF]
, 2016 Earthquake-induced liquefaction of saturated soils continues to cause severe damage to structures with shallow foundations. In recent years, artificially reducing the degree of saturation and forming partially saturated zones within saturated soils has ...

Geotechnical design with apparent seismic safety factors well-bellow 1 [PDF]
, 2014 The paper demonstrates that whereas often in seismic geotechnical design it is not realistically feasible to design with ample factor of safety against failure as is done in static design, an "engineering" apparent seismic factor of safety less than 1 ...

Elastic Settlement Analysis of Rigid Rectangular Footings on Sands and Clays
Geosciences, 2020 In this paper an elastic settlement analysis method for rigid rectangular footings applicable to both clays and sands is proposed. The proposed method is based on the concept of equivalent shape, where any rectangular footing is suitably replaced by a ...
