Structural skirts are vertical or inclined walls that encircle the soil mass beneath the footing.
They improve shallow footing load-settlement behavior by restricting the soil and containing …

Expansive soils exhibit significant changes in their swell and shrink behaviour upon
variation of moisture content. The majority of soils in Queensland are expansive; …

The continuous demand for urban development, along with the construction of new
buildings, highways, and infrastructure, creates an increasing necessity for excavation …

In the millennial era, the development of information and communication technology is very
fast, one of the telecommunications infrastructure is a monopole type telecommunications …

Background: The skirt foundation is one of the powerful types of foundations to resist the
lateral loads produced from natural forces, such as earthquakes and wind action, or from the …

This study presents the behavior of vertically confined square footing on geogrid-reinforced
sand under centric inclined loading through a series of experimental tests. The load was …

Expansive soils exhibit significant changes in the swell and shrink behaviour upon
variations of moisture content. Majority of soils in Queensland are expansive; consequently …

In a view to keep a check on the economy, several methods have been devised up to
enhance soil strength characteristics, among which confinement is one of the emerging …
