Resources and environment carrying capacity (RECC) is an important concept for regional
and urban sustainable development. This study constructs a comprehensive RECC indicator …

Footings are constructed closely to each other in mountainous rock areas and the
determination of closely spaced bearing capacity footings on rock masses has become an …

The experimental data shows that most rocks behave nonlinearly in nature. The modified
nonlinear Hoek–Brown failure criterion was considered to investigate the bearing capacity …

In this paper, the effect of the adjacency of two strip footings on bearing capacity of rock
masses was investigated using the upper bound analysis and finite element method. The …

It is common that the structures on the hilly terrain have footings laid on rockmass slopes.
For such a case, there is a need to evaluate the factors governing the bearing capacity of the …

This study presents the numerical solution for the seismic bearing capacity of embedded
strip footing in Hoek–Brown rock mass. The upper-bound solutions are presented by …

This study investigated the bearing capacity of shallow foundations on Florida limestone
using 3D finite element modeling (FEM) with a bilinear strength envelope based on rock …

The effect of the embedment depth is one of the most important issues in calculating the
bearing capacity. The results of the previous studies show that in most cases, it was …

Many published studies on seismic conditions have focused on a pseudostatic method with
a linear Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion. However, the pseudostatic method ignores the …

The analysis of foundation's bearing capacity is generally conducted under the assumption
of plane strain. However, the damage of rectangular foundation usually presents obvious …
