Gourvenec, S. M., Vulpe, C. & Murthy, T. G. (2014). A method for predicting the consolidated undrained bearing capacity of shallow foundations. Géotechnique 64, No. 3, 215–225, http://dx.doi.org/10.1680/geot.13.P.101.
In Table 2 the constant m should be negative – that is, −0·95 and −1·05 for strip and circular footings respectively (not 0·95 and 1·05 as shown).
Equation 16 should read vu,cons = [U (vu,cons_max − vu)] + vu (not vu,cons = Uvu,cons_max as shown).
The vertical axis labels for Figs 15a and 15b should read G = (vu,cons−vu)/(vu,cons_max−vu) (not G = vu,cons/vu,cons_max as shown).
