This paper focuses on the effective utilization of pond ash, as foundation medium. A series of laboratory model tests have
been carried out using square, rectangular and strip footings on pond ash. The effects of dry density, degree of saturation
of pond ash, size and shape of footing on ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations are presented in this paper. Local
shear failure of a square footing on pond ash at 37% moisture content (optimum moisture content) is observed up to the values
of dry density 11.20 kN/m3 and general shear failure takes place at the values of dry density 11.48 kN/m3 and 11.70 kN/m3. Effects of degree of saturation on ultimate bearing capacity were studied. Experimental results show that degree of saturation
significantly affects the ultimate bearing capacity of strip footing. The effect of footing length to width ratio (L/B), on increase in ultimate bearing capacity of pond ash, is insignificant for L/B ≥ 10 in case of rectangular footings. The effects of size of footing on ultimate bearing capacity for all shapes of footings
viz., square, rectangular and strip footings are highlighted. 相似文献

The ultimate bearing capacity of a new strip footing placed on a cohesionless soil medium, in the presence of an existing
strip footing, the load on which is assumed to be known, has been determined. Both the footings are assumed to be perfectly
rigid and rough. The analysis is carried out by using an upper bound finite element limit analysis. For different clear spacing
(S) between the footings, the values of the efficiency factor (ξγ) were determined; where ξγ is defined as the ratio of the failure load for an interfering new footing of a given width (B) to that for a single isolated
footing having the same width. For ϕ < 30°, it is generally noted that the magnitude of ξγ increases continuously with a decrease in S/B. For ϕ > 30°, on the other hand if the applied load on the existing footing
is approximately greater than half the failure load for a single isolated footing having the same width, the peak magnitude
of ξγ was found to occur at around S/B ≈ 0.1 rather than at S/B = 0. The increase in ξγ becomes further significant with an increase in the magnitude of the load on the existing footing. 相似文献

The ultimate bearing capacity of a number of multiple strip footings, identically spaced and equally loaded to failure at the same time, is computed by using the lower bound limit analysis in combination with finite elements. The efficiency factor (ξγ), due to the component of soil unit weight, is computed with respect to changes in the clear spacing (S) between the footings. It is noted that the failure load for a footing in the group becomes always greater than that of a single isolated footing. The values of ξγ for the smooth footings are found to be always lower than the rough footings. The values of ξγ are found to increase continuously with a decrease in the spacing between footings. As compared to the available theoretical and experimental results reported in literature, the present analysis provides generally a little lower values of ξγ. 相似文献

By using small scale model tests, the interference effect on the vertical load-deformation behavior of a number of equally
spaced strip footings, placed on the surface of dry sand, was investigated. At any stage, all the footings were assumed to
(i) carry exactly equal magnitude of load, and (ii) settle to the same extent. No tilt of the footing was permitted. The effect
of clear spacing (s) among footings on the results was explored. A new experimental setup was proposed in which only one footing
needs to be employed rather than a number of footings. The bearing capacity increases continuously with decrease in spacing
among the footings. The interference effect becomes further prominent with increase in soil friction angle. In contrast to
an increase in the bearing capacity, with decrease in spacing of footings, an increase in the footing settlement associated
with the ultimate state of shear failure was observed. The present experimental observations were similar to those predicted
by the available theory, based on the method of characteristics. As compared to the theory, the present experimental data,
however, indicates much greater effect of interference especially for larger spacing among footings. 相似文献

The ultimate bearing capacity of a group of equally spaced multiple rough strip footings was determined due to the contribution of soil unit weight. The analysis was performed by using an upper bound theorem of limit analysis in combination with finite elements and linear programming. Along the interfaces of all the triangular elements, velocity discontinuities were considered. The value of ξγ was found to increase continuously with a decrease in S/B, where (i) ξγ is the ratio of the failure load of an interfering strip footing of a given width (B) to that of a single isolated strip footing having the same width and (ii) S is the clear spacing between any two adjacent footings. The effect of the variation of spacing on ξγ was found to be very extensive for small values of S/B; ξγ approaches infinity at S/B=0. In all the cases, the velocity discontinuities were found to exist generally in a zone only around the footing edge. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

By using an upper bound limit analysis in conjunction with finite elements and linear programming, the ultimate bearing capacity of two interfering rough strip footings, resting on a cohesionless medium, was computed. Along all the interfaces of the chosen triangular elements, velocity discontinuities were employed. The plastic strains were incorporated using an associated flow rule. For different clear spacing (S) between the two footings, the efficiency factor (ξγ) was determined, where ξγ is defined as the ratio of the failure load for a strip footing of given width in the presence of the other footing to that of a single isolated strip footing having the same width. The value of ξγ at S/B = 0 becomes equal to 2.0, and the maximum ξγ occurs at S/B = Scr/B. For S/B?Scr/B, the ultimate failure load for a footing becomes almost half that of an isolated footing having width (2B + S), and the soil mass below and in between the two footings deforms mainly in the downward direction. In contrast, for S/B>Scr/B, ground heave was noticed along both the sides of the footing. As compared to the available theories, the analysis provides generally lower values of ξγ for S/B>Scr/B.

This paper numerically examines the bearing capacity and failure mechanism of a shallow strip foundation constructed above twin voids. The voids may refer to caves, caverns, underground aqueduct or tunnels due to water seepage, chemical reaction or deliberately excavated in soil deposit. The ability of numerical model to accurately predict the system behavior is evaluated by performing verification analyses on existing researches. Subsequently, a parametric study carried out to reveal the influence of size of footing/voids and their location (i.e. depth, spacing, eccentricity) on the bearing capacity of footing. To clarify the failure mechanism, the distribution of shear strain in the soil for different scenarios is assessed. The parametric study provided a new framework to determine the bearing capacity and the mode of failure for footings on voids. Based on the results, a criterion can be issued to avoid collapse of footing/voids regarding the shape, location and size of voids. The results can also be used to design construction of a footing on existing voids while the acquired failure mechanisms can be appointed to develop analytical solutions for this problem. Results demonstrated that a critical depth for voids and a critical distance between them exist where the influence on the ultimate bearing capacity of footing disappears. 相似文献

The method of stress characteristics has been used for computing the ultimate bearing capacity of strip and circular footings placed on rock mass. The modified Hoek‐and‐Brown failure criterion has been used. Both smooth and rough footing‐rock interfaces have been modeled. The bearing capacity has been expressed in terms of nondimensional factors Nσ0 and Nσ, corresponding to rock mass with (1) γ = 0 and (2) γ ≠ 0, respectively. The numerical results have been presented as a function of different input parameters needed to define the Hoek‐and‐Brown criterion. Slip line patterns and the pressure distribution along the footing base have also been examined. The results are found to compare generally well with the reported solutions. 相似文献

In recent times, rapid urbanisation coupled with scarcity of land forces several structures to come up ever closer to each
other, which may sometime cause severe damage to the structures from both strength and serviceability point of view, and therefore,
a need is felt to devise simplified methods to capture the effect of footing interference. In the present study, an attempt
has been made to model the settlement behaviour of two strip footings placed in close spacing on layered soil deposit consisting
of a strong top layer underlying a weak bottom layer. Theory of elasticity is employed to derive the governing differential
equations and subsequently solved by the finite difference method. The perfectly rough strip footings are considered to be
resting on the surface of two-layer soil system, and the soil is assumed to behave as linear elastic material under a range
of static foundation load. The effect of various parameters such as the elastic moduli and thickness of two layers, clear
spacing between the footings and footing load on the settlement behaviour of closely spaced footings has been determined.
The variation of vertical normal stress at the interface of two different soil layers as well as at the base of the failure
domain also forms an important part of this study. The results are presented in terms of settlement ratio (ξδ), and their variation is obtained with the change in clear spacing between two footings. The present theoretical investigation
indicates that the settlement of closely spaced footings is found to be higher than that of single isolated footing, which
further reduces with increase in the spacing between the footings. 相似文献

A finite element approach based on an advanced multi‐surface kinematic constitutive model is used to evaluate the bearing capacity of footings resting on granular soils. Unlike simple elastic‐perfectly plastic models, often applied to granular foundation problems, the present model realistically accounts for stress dependency of the friction angle, strain softening–hardening and non‐associativity. After the model and its implementation into a finite element code are briefly discussed, the numerical difficulty due to the singularity at the footing edge is addressed. The bearing capacity factor Nγ is then calculated for different granular materials. The effect of footing size, shape, relative density and roughness on the ultimate bearing capacity are studied and the computed results compare very favourably with the general experimental trends. In addition, it is shown that the finite element solution can clearly represent counteracting mechanisms of progressive failure which have an important effect on the bearing capacity of granular foundations.

This paper investigates the performance of geo-reinforced soil structures subjected to loading applied to strip footings positioned close to a slope crest. The kinematic theorem of limit analysis, which is based on the upper bound theory of plasticity, is applied for evaluating the ultimate bearing capacity within the framework of pseudo-static approach to account for earthquake effects. The mechanism considered in this analysis is a logarithmic spiral failure surface, which is assumed to start at the edge of the loaded area far from the slope, consistent with the observed failure mechanisms shown in the experimental tests reported in the literature. A parametric study is then carried out to investigate the influence of various parameters including the geosynthetic configuration, backfill soil friction angle, footing distances from the crest of the slope, slope angles and horizontal seismic coefficients. Attention is paid to the failure mechanism because its maximum depth is the depth at least to which the reinforcements must be placed. Results of the analyses are presented in the form of non-dimensional design charts for practical use. Finally, a simple procedure based on the assessment of earthquake-induced permanent displacements is shown for the design of footing resting on reinforced slopes subjected to earthquake. 相似文献

A rigorous lower bound solution, with the usage of the finite elements limit analysis, has been obtained for finding the ultimate bearing capacity of two interfering strip footings placed on a sandy medium. Smooth as well as rough footing–soil interfaces are considered in the analysis. The failure load for an interfering footing becomes always greater than that for a single isolated footing. The effect of the interference on the failure load (i) for rough footings becomes greater than that for smooth footings, (ii) increases with an increase in ?, and (iii) becomes almost negligible beyond S/B > 3. Compared with various theoretical and experimental results reported in literature, the present analysis generally provides the lowest magnitude of the collapse load.

We studied the upper-bound ultimate bearing capacity of smooth strip shallow footings with symmetrical and asymmetrical horizontal confinements on purely frictional sand within the framework of upper-bound limit analysis. The subsoil follows the associated flow rule, and no surcharge on the soil surface is assumed. The contact between the soil and the horizontal confinement walls is assumed to be perfectly rough. The upper-bound solutions for the objective functions are obtained using nonlinear sequential quadratic programming. The results for the different internal friction angles φ are provided in terms of the variation of two parameters, namely, the bearing capacity factor Nγ and the correction factor of bearing capacity Kγ, with respect to the change in the clear spacing between the edge of smooth footing and the rigid vertical walls. The values of Nγ and Kγ increase with φ and decrease with the clear spacing between the edge of the smooth footing and the rigid vertical walls. Nγ and Kγ are more sensitive to this confining effect as φ increases. The numerical results, a comparative analysis with the results from previous studies, and design charts are also included. 相似文献

Experimental and analytical investigations on bearing capacity of strip footing in reinforced sand backfills and flexible retaining wall 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
This study focuses on the experimental and analytical investigations of small-scale physical model tests. For this purpose, a set of tests were conducted with and without reinforcement on the top of the backfill. The specimens were different in terms of parameters like the number of geotextile layers, the vertical distance between layers and the strip footing distance from the wall. Soil failure in the bearing capacity step and the backfill shear zones was analysed using particle image velocimetry methods. Bearing capacity of the strip footings was studied using analytical procedures. The results indicate that a reinforcing top zone of the flexible retaining structures may be more appropriate than unreinforced case. The ultimate bearing capacity and wall deflection can be significantly improved by increasing the number of reinforcement layers. When the three layers of reinforcement are used, there is an optimum vertical spacing of the layers at which the bearing capacity is the greatest (h/H?=?0.12, d/H?=?0.33 and u?=?B). The study shows that the analytical solution and the results from the experimental models are in good agreement. 相似文献

Ring footings can be more effective and economical than circular footings. In spite of similarities between circular and ring footings, their behaviors are different in some respects such as bearing pressure distribution under the footing and settlement. But no exclusive theoretical prediction of ultimate bearing capacity has been reported for ring footings. In the present study, stress characteristics method is employed for coding the bearing capacity of ring footing with horizontal ground surface. In the calculations, friction at the contact between the soil and foundation is considered. In this research, the soil obeys the Mohr–Coulomb yield criterion and that is cohesive–frictional-weighted with applied surcharge pressure. The bearing capacity factors Nγ, Nq and Nc for ring footings were calculated by a written code based on the method of characteristics. Bearing capacity was determined for different conditions of soil and different ratio of radii in comparison with the principle of superposition results. The findings show that the principle of superposition is effective for determining the bearing capacity of a ring footing. 相似文献

建筑物或构筑物基础临近边坡置放的情况在实际工程中十分普遍,但目前对于临近边坡基础的地基承载力及破坏模式尚缺乏深入研究。采用不连续布局优化（DLO）极限分析法建立数值模型,分析边坡几何尺寸、土体参数和基础位置对临坡条形基础的极限承载力和边坡破坏模式的影响,并对国内外现行规范推荐的计算方法进行评价。结果表明：极限承载力随边坡高度和边坡倾斜角的增大而减小,当坡高超过临界高度后,极限承载力将不受其影响;极限承载力随土体黏聚力和内摩擦角的增大而提高,滑动面随黏聚力的增大而变浅,随内摩擦角的增大而变深;极限承载力随基础与坡肩相对距离的增大而提高,当基础置放位置超过某临界距离后极限承载力不受边坡影响。在土体强度高、坡角较大时,《建筑地基基础设计规范》规定的临坡基础最小置放距离偏于危险,设计时仍需考虑边坡对承载力的减损作用;在土体强度较低、坡角较小时,规范规定值偏于保守。美国AASHTO规范对边坡地基极限承载力的取值在砂土边坡时较为可靠,但其仅适用于坡面破坏模式的情况;饱和黏土边坡的承载力曲线有悖于理论解,对临界距离的规定同样存在低估。 相似文献

由多个分离基础组成的多基础系统是常用的海洋结构基础型式。基于破坏包络面理论,分析了砂土地基多基础系统的失效模式,建立了相应的承载力计算方法,并验证了计算方法的可行性。对比分析了单一基础和多基础系统不同荷载路径下的荷载安全系数,探讨了破坏包络面理论与分项系数法相结合的基础承载力计算方法。失效模式的分析表明,由于水平荷载的增大,四腿平台结构迎浪侧基础首先到达破坏包络线,其失效模式属于滑动失稳,但由于基础间的运动约束,其并不会出现真正的滑移破坏。随着水平荷载进一步地增大,迎浪侧基础承担的水平和竖向荷载不断减小,导致背浪侧基础受到不断增大的荷载。最终,背浪侧基础也到达破坏包络线,多基础系统失效。分析表明,荷载路径对基础的荷载安全系数有决定性的影响,计算基础的荷载安全系数需指明相应的荷载路径。鉴于破坏包络面的大小和形状取决于众多因素,基础设计时需采用特定工况下的破坏包络面进行承载力计算。 相似文献

利用极限分析上限法求解地基极限承载力问题的关键在于构造合适的破坏模式。当地基下方存在空洞时,地基的破坏模式变得相当复杂。通过分析空洞存在时地基的受力特点及破坏形态,将地基破坏范围划分成为不同的刚性区和过渡区,构造了空洞上方条形基础地基的破坏模式。利用上限法,建立与破坏模式对应的速度场,推导了破坏模式不同区域内的耗散功率和外力功率,得到地基极限承载力的目标函数,并采用数学优化方法进行求解,获得了极限承载力的上限解。通过算例分析,讨论了空洞顶板厚度、空洞大小与地基极限承载力的关系,并与无空洞条件下地基极限承载力进行对比分析。结果表明,随着空洞顶板厚度增加,地基极限承载力增加,破坏模式也由地基与空洞之间扩散到地基两侧;空洞顶板厚度存在临界值,当超过此临界值时,空洞对地基极限承载力的影响可忽略。 相似文献

Design of shallow foundations relies on bearing capacity values calculated using procedures that are based in part on solutions obtained using the method of characteristics, which assumes a soil following an associated flow rule. In this paper, we use the finite element method to determine the vertical bearing capacity of strip and circular footings resting on a sand layer. Analyses were performed using an elastic–perfectly plastic Mohr–Coulomb constitutive model. To investigate the effect of dilatancy angle on the footing bearing capacity, two series of analyses were performed, one using an associated flow rule and one using a non-associated flow rule. The study focuses on the values of the bearing capacity factors Nq and Nγ and of the shape factors sq and sγ for circular footings. Relationships for these factors that are valid for realistic pairs of friction angle and dilatancy angle values are also proposed. 相似文献
