...Shiguo Xiao, PhD; Tingju Chen, BEng; Wei Dong Guo, PhD A reasonable combination of asymmetric foundation failure and whole slope failure is essential to solve the problem of the ultimate bearing capacity of a rigid strip footing near a soil slope. Based on a bilaterally admissible failure mechanism...

... imperfections, generated based on the failure modes of the platform, are introduced in the compression legs of the jacket. The platform is loaded by operational and environmental loads. The environmental loads are gradually increased until platform failure occurs. The findings of the paper indicate...
