Effect of Compressibility on Undrained Bearing Pressure of Circular Footing Resting on Two-Layered Clay
Abstract: The present study aims to investigate the behavior of a circular foundation on layered clay of varying properties. There are several solutions for the bearing capacity of footings on two-layered clays, but none of them considered the compressibility of the strata. An underestimation of the soil bearing capacity is the main cause of failures. The typical difficulty in estimating the capacity of soil is its complicated behavior attributed to the …

Experimental Analysis of Wheel Load on Tunnels
Abstract: Construction of tunnels in urban areas for various purposes such as underground transportation and sewage disposal usually includes excavation in soil or semi-rigid media. The need for analysis of wheel loads on tunnels arises due to the future development in the area above the tunnel. If it is a road development, as vehicles pass through it, load of those vehicles may finally act upon the tunnel. But for the present …
