The load-bearing mechanisms...

...%. foundations models (physical) piles & piling The pile foundation has been utilised by designers and engineers over more than a century as an alternative choice when the subsoil layer is weak. The piles transfer the applied load to stronger soil layers by one of the two following means: skin...

... representing low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise structures was developed. The foundation flexibility was considered using a substructuring method and the soil–structure systems were subjected to a number of far-field and near-fault ground motions. The results indicated that the foundation flexibility could...

Interrogation of the design-and-build tender drawings, using instinctive, experienced judgement, quickly identified that the successful execution of the foundation to the south tower was key to the delivery of the project to the aggressive programme defined in the employer's requirements.

... in combination with BS EN 1992-1-1. It is necessary to distinguish between punching shear failure in slabs and foundations with and without shear reinforcement. In slabs and foundations with shear reinforcement, a failure can occur at maximum load level, in and outside the shear-reinforced zone. The European...

...Amir M. Halabian; Ali R. Emami Currently, it is understood that seismic responses of building structures could be changed, owing to the foundation flexibility. The present study is limited to evaluate such phenomenon on non-linear responses of reinforced concrete structures, emphasising...
