...). Parametric analyses were carried out to examine the influences that wall facing toe restraint conditions could have on predicted bearing capacity and failure mechanisms of MSE walls when subjected to strip footing load as a function of footing location, reinforcement design (i.e. tensile strength, length...

...C. C. Huang To investigate the effectiveness and limitations of using a reinforced earth slab to mitigate excessive footing settlements induced by an unloading at the slope toe, two-dimensional model slope tests were performed. Model slopes sustaining a constant footing load at the slope crest were...

... of the unreinforced and reinforced sand slopes are significant. The ultimate footing loads observed in five physical model tests on reinforced and unreinforced slopes can be simulated by the proposed analysis method when using a single ‘operational’ friction angle (ϕ_op) that is 82 to 86% of the peak...
