... area width were considered and analysed. Results show that the abutment with stronger reinforcement remained stable under the maximum loading capacity. However, abutments with weaker reinforcement showed excessive vertical strain, local deformation or even collapse. The ultimate bearing capacity...

...C.-C. Huang ABSTRACT: Performance-based designs for footings placed on reinforced ground that take their ductile behaviour into account require better knowledge of the settlement of footings subjected to peak footing loads. The validity of theoretical formulae for ultimate bearing capacity...

...E.C. Shin; B.M. Das Results of laboratory reduced-scale model tests conducted to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of a strip foundation supported by medium and dense sand reinforced by multiple layers of geogrid are presented. Only one type of sand and one type of geogrid were used. Tests...
