The" Red Book" presents a background to conventional foundation analysis and design. The
text is not intended to replace the much more comprehensive'standard'textbooks, but rather …

First published in 1995, the award-winning Civil Engineering Handbook soon became
known as the field's definitive reference. To retain its standing as a complete, authoritative …

Five square spread footings ranging in size from 1 to 3 m were load tested up to 150 mm of
settlement. They were all embedded 0.75 m into a medium dense, fairly uniform, silty silica …

This research study aims at investigating the potential benefits of using the reinforcement to
improve the bearing capacity and reduce the settlement of shallow foundations. To …

This paper addresses problems of interpreting the results of loading tests in a residual
homogeneous, cohesive-frictional soil. Data are presented comparing load-settlement …

This study aims at experimentally explaining the potential benefits of geogrid reinforced soil
footings using large scale field tests. A total of 16 field tests were carried out to evaluate the …

Analytical equations for the moment–rotation response of a rigid foundation on a Winkler soil
model are presented. An equation is derived for the uplift-yield condition and is combined …

A study of the assumptions involved in the ultimate bearing capacity equation indicates the
shortcomings of that equation and load test data confirm these shortcomings. A new …

The results of 167 full-scale field load tests were used to examine several issues related to
the load-displacement behavior of footings in cohesionless soils under axial compression …

The power hammer machines induce harmful vibrations in different parts of the foundation
which may result in excessive dynamic settlement. While designing the hammer machine …
