Sentence examples for surface foundations from inspiring English sources
Because structures with surface foundations are examined, inertial interaction mainly affects the acceleration demand.
Undrained capacity of strip and circular surface foundations with a zero-tension interface on a deposit with varying degrees of strength heterogeneity is investigated by finite element analyses.
Failure envelopes for strip and circular surface foundations under undrained planar V-H-M loading are presented and compared with predictions from traditional bearing capacity theory.
Evidence from field case studies, as well as from experimental and theoretical research, suggest that the detrimental effects of seismic liquefaction on the performance of surface foundations on level ground may be mitigated in presence of a non-liquefiable soil crust of adequate dimensions and shear strength.
All foundations were designed as rigid surface foundations since the required embedment depth is considered negligible in comparison with the layer thickness.
Focusing on surface foundations, where nonlinearity manifests itself through uplifting and/or soil yielding, a 'reversal' of the current capacity design principle is proposed: the foundation is intentionally underdesigned under the seismic actions compared with the supported column to promote rocking response and accumulation of plastic deformation at the soil foundation interface.
Frequency independent expressions are used to determine the stiffness and damping coefficients for the rigid surface foundation on the soil-stratum underlined by bedrock at shallow depth.
A series of reduced-scale monotonic and slow-cyclic pushover tests are conducted on SDOF systems lying on a square surface foundation.
In this paper, a series of field experiments were carried out to investigate the active vibration isolation for a surface foundation using horizontal wave impedance block (WIB) in a multilayered ground under vertical excitations.
Results of dimensionless parameter analysis show that the vertical response of the rigid surface foundation can be simplified to a function of the Poisson ratio, the dimensionless frequency and mass ratio, and that the torsional response can be further simplified to a function of dimensionless frequency and mass ratio.
In this study, building structures with various geometrical properties mounted on surface raft foundations are examined.
