ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF HEAVILY LOADED MAT FOUNDATION ON ADJACENT DRILLED SHAFT FOUNDATION
Construction of heavily loaded shallow foundations adjacent to deep foundation is generally avoided in common geotechnical engineering practice to minimize additional loads on deep foundations. However, with the growing trend of urbanization leading to a demand of new construction, it is not always …

Lateral response of stiff column-supported shallow foundations
… the lateral response of stiff column-supported shallow foundations, resulting from the application of horizontal load on shallow foundations supported by stiff columns, are uncertain. Stiff columns constructed in soft clayey soil have been used to support retaining walls and in such cases, the …

Numerical and physical modelling of piled rafts on soft clay under combined loading
Piled raft foundations are typically used in cases where a shallow foundation is inadequate to sustain the loads of the superstructure either because of lack of capacity or because of excessive displacement. They consist of two components, namely the raft and the pile group, contributing to the …

Scale Model Shake Table Testing of Shallow Embedded Foundations in Soft Clay
… the coupled seismic response of a structure on a shallow mat foundation and foundation soil (known as soil-foundation-structural-interaction or SFSI). In previous research, SFSI effects have been quantified through analytical models, numerical analyses, and limited field data. This research works …

Seismic behaviours of adjacent building structures on liquefied soil
… structure-soil-structure interaction, SSSI) with shallow foundations on liquefiable soil. Consideration is given to the influence of foundation types, relative dynamic characteristics of adjacent structures, and the influence of soil liquefiability. Dynamic centrifuge testing was used as the …

A vibration-based bridge scour monitoring technique
… – the gradual erosion of soil around bridge foundations due to rapid water flow. A reliable technique to monitor scour could potentially guide timely repair and, in turn, mitigate the risk of future scour-induced bridge failure. Currently, there are various, mostly underwater, techniques …

Creep behaviour of shallow foundations on sand and its implication to soil–structure interaction
… literature showing that the creep settlement of shallow foundations on sand can increase over decades to a magnitude comparable to the immediate settlement. However, in most of the existing settlement prediction methods, the creep settlement of footings on sand is either ignored or accounted for …

The dynamic soil structure interaction of shallow foundations on dry sand beds
The design of shallow foundations located in seismically active zones typically takes a near zero tolerance approach to allowing relative movements between the foundation and underlying soil. This results in a rigid coupling of the foundation with the soil and hence the full transmission of the …
