Pseudo-Static Limit Equilibrium Method for Bearing Capacity of Footing on Slope and Seismic Uplift Capacity of Horizontal Strip Anchor
Abstract: Seismic bearing capacity for a shallow strip footing embedded in a sloping ground is derived along with seismic uplift capacity of horizontal strip anchors. c-ϕ soil medium is used with limit equilibrium method of analysis. A planar failure mechanism has been adopted. The seismic bearing capacity is determined in the form of a single pseudo-static bearing capacity coefficient (Nγe) in association with unit weight, surcharge and cohesion, which becomes more …

Analysis and Design for Homogeneous Earth Slopes
Abstract: In an aspect of geotechnical engineering problems, slope stability is a condition of inclined soil, waste heaps to withstand or undergo movement. The slope is an unprotected ground surface that can be situated at an angle of horizontal. Slopes are necessitated in the construction of railway embankments and highways, levees, bridges, earth dams, reservoirs and canals, etc., and are generally less expansive. Failures of natural and man-made slopes have demise …
