Sand Deformation Mechanisms and Earth Pressures Mobilised with Retaining Wall Movements
The conventional design of retaining walls is typically based on ultimate limit state calculations with arbitrary factors of safety, while the assessment of wall deformations is based on serviceability limit state calculations. Such an inconsistency has caused much uncertainty and hence inevitably …

Deformation mechanisms beneath shallow foundations
… for supporting small-scale structures. The design approach is quite simple considering the ultimate bearing capacity and working-load settlement. Research has shown that settlement calculations, determined using a linear-elastic approach, usually govern the design but this approach is …
