In practice, footings may be constructed near each other which results in an interaction
between foundations and leads to significant effect on bearing capacity (BC), failure …

This study examines the stability of a single and twin horse-shoe shaped unlined tunnels
laid in rock media and loaded with surcharge pressure on ground surface. The tunnels are …

Finite element limit analysis (FELA) was used to investigate the bearing capacity of strip
footing on a rock mass with single or multiple continuous voids. The underlying rock mass …

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 …

This paper investigates the ultimate bearing capacity of Hoek-Brown rock masses under
square and rectangular footings using three dimensional finite element analyses. Analyses …

Strip footing needs special attention when substantial underground voids of significant
dimensions occur in natural rocks since voids can compromise structural integrity. This …

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 …

An analytical approach to the ultimate bearing capacity qu of strip foundations on rock mass
under both smooth and rough base conditions is presented. To consider the three …
