Little research can be found in relation to the stability of anisotropic and heterogenous soils
in three dimensions. In this paper, we propose a study on the three-dimensional (3D) …

A novel investigation of the bearing capacity of ring footings embedded in undrained
anisotropic clays using a new hybrid soft computation technique that cooperates between …

Ring foundations are widely used to support various types of offshore structures because of
the cost-effective reason. Unlike the traditional circular foundations, very few studies were …

Axisymmetric solutions for the bearing capacity of ring foundation resting on anisotropic and
heterogenous clays are presented in this paper using finite element analysis (FEA). The NGI …

This paper aims at analyzing the active and passive lateral earth pressures exerted on
retaining walls due to the anisotropic medium of dry and noncohesive backfill subjected to …

An upper bound (UB) and lower bound (LB) finite element limit analysis cooperating with a
machine learning method is adopted as a new solution for predicting the bearing capacity of …

In this paper, novel stability solutions of unsupported conical slopes in anisotropic clays are
presented by using the lower bound and upper bound finite element limit analyses under an …

The paper presents axisymmetric FEA solutions for the bearing capacity of conical footings
embedded in anisotropic and inhomogeneous clays using NGI-ADP model. The bearing …

The stability of tunnels in clayey soil is a major concern for underground space technology.
Clay has anisotropy in shear strength induced by depositional and sedimentation …

In underground space technology, the issue of tunnel stability is a fundamental concern that
significantly causes catastrophe. Owing to sedimentation and deposition processes, the …
