Shell foundation has been considered as the best shallow foundation for transferring heavy
load to weak soils because of the high bearing capacity values, where a conventional …

The ultimate BEARING CAPACITY of strip foundations situated on REINFORCED SOIL s
has been analyzed in this paper using the STRESS CHARACTERISTICS method. A …

Many forms of shells are available for use as foundations. Then frustum of a cone in the
upright position can serve as footing for columns or raft for structure such as chimneys …

The design of a foundation is inseparable from the type and strength of the soil, for example,
clay soils have poor properties for structures due to their low bearing capacity. Therefore, it …

Reinforcing soils with biaxial geogrids have been shown to be an effective method for
improving the ultimate BEARING CAPACITY of granular soils. The PULL-OUT RESISTANCE …

Footings are often situated on layered soils having weak soil of significant depth underlain
by comparatively strong soil strata. The shell footings are capable of supporting higher …

Shell foundations are often used to raise the carrying capacity of a structure on weak soils. In
cases where large superstructure loads must be transferred to poorer soils, shell …

The present paper reveals the results of an analytical method to calculate the BEARING
CAPACITY of a FOOTING supported on one or two rows of piles stabilizing slope. The varied …

Many forms of shells are available for use as foundations. Then frustum of a cone in the
upright position can serve as footing for columns or raft for structure such as chimneys …

Foundations perform a crucial role in structures to transmit the loads from the superstructure
to the soil beneath. The first utilization of shells as foundations was about six decades ago in …
