The direct shear test has survived over the past 50 years in geotechnical engineering
applications because of its simplicity and repeatability. Many laboratories perform direct …

The effects of particle shape and size distribution on the constitutive behavior of composite
soils with a wide range of particle size were investigated. Two comparable sets of …

In the recent past, the potential benefits of wraparound geosynthetic reinforcement
technique for constructing the reinforced soil foundations have been reported. This paper …

The nature of soil varies horizontally as well as vertically, owing to the process of the
formation of soil. Thus, ensuring the safe design of geotechnical structures has been a major …

Model Uncertainties in Foundation Design is unique in the compilation of the largest and the
most diverse load test databases to date, covering many foundation types (shallow …

An experimental investigation into the ultimate bearing capacity of strip footing on sand
slope is reported. The parameters investigated are the effect of setback distance of the …

This article presents a review of the equipment used in the process of determining the
mechanical strength of soil, in particular with regards to the vertical loads applied. Here …

To study the settlement and dynamic response characteristics of shallow square footings on
geogrid-reinforced sand under cyclic loading, 7 sets of large scale laboratory tests are …

In this study, two different approaches are proposed to determine the ultimate bearing
capacity of shallow foundations on granular soil. Firstly, an artificial neural network (ANN) …

This paper provides a comprehensive review on the effect of load inclination and eccentricity
on the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. Regarding load eccentricity, Meyerhof's …
