Undrained bearing capacity factors for conical footings on clay Available to Purchase

The bearing capacity of circular foundations on undrained clay is of fundamental importance in many geotechnical problems. In particular there are a number of designs of offshore foundations where the foundation can be treated approximately as a large circular footing, for instance some gravity bases, the spudcan foundations of jack-up units, and the more recently developed caisson foundations. In most cases the footing is not placed at the ground surface, and it is important to take into account the depth of embedment. Furthermore, the base of a spudcan is generally not flat, but approximates a shallow cone. For foundations on...
