Reliability-Based Prediction of Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundation Along Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano Pipeline Track
Abstract: This paper investigates the geotechnical properties and reliability-based bearing capacity predictions for shallow foundations along the proposed Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (A-K-K) pipeline track in Nigeria. The variability of subsoil properties along this route poses significant challenges to ensuring foundation stability and safety, necessitating an in-depth study. A total of twenty boreholes were strategically drilled at key locations to a maximum depth of 30 meters, providing comprehensive subsurface profiles. Soil samples collected from …
