Bearing Capacity of a Shallow Foundation above the Soil with a Cavity Based on Rigid Plastic Finite Element Method
Based on the Rigid Plastic Finite Element Method (RPFEM), this study investigates the performance of the footing on the soil with a cavity. The RPFEM is used in plane strain conditions and necessitates only a few materials to predict the bearing capacity: the unit weight of the soil, the cohesion, t...
