Sentence examples for foundation width from inspiring English sources
The reduction of the foundation width in contact during uplift induces an increase of the stresses under the foundation.
There is a dearth of field data with which to compare these correlation factors, in particular where foundation width and depth have been varied in the same ground conditions.
For a settlement of 15% of foundation width, the maximum improvement in bearing capacity for coir geocell was found to be 7.92 compared to 5.83 in the case of planar forms.
The embedment depth to foundation width ratio (D f/B) is varied from 0.01 to 2.0 for the eigenvalue analysis, and as expected, increasing depth of embedment results in reduced flexibility in the system leading to reduced natural period (Fig. 9).
Seismic wall sliding is dominant and rotation is negligible for rigid walls when the ratio between the wall height and the foundation width is less than 1.4, while for greater ratios the wall becomes more flexible and rotation (rocking) increases till the ratio reaches 1.8 where overturning is susceptible to take place.
In fact, previous experimental studies on rigid oscillators 52 have shown that improvement, that is, densification of a soil layer of depth equal to the foundation width (4 m deep in this particular case) may drastically reduce rocking-induced foundation settlements, thereby alleviating concerns about the idea of implementing rocking isolation in practice.
The foundation block width should be wider than it is tall to overcome the cantilever effect experienced by most reciprocating engines or compressors.
The continuum media around the structure were extended to a triple distance of the outer side of the foundations in width for each side of the structure and four times of the total height of the structure by considering the minimum depth of cover beneath the structure.
L and B are the length and width of foundation, respectively.
In this study, the lateral boundary of soil was placed at a distance of four times the width of foundation.
Pre-formed soil cement columns of 24 mm diameter with different lengths (i.e. 50 mm and 100 mm) were installed beneath a rigid foundation of 80 mm width in a soft clay bed using replacing method.
