New design equations for estimation of ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations resting on rock masses
Rock masses are commonly used as the underlying layer of important structures such as bridges, dams and transportation constructions. The success of a foundation design for such structures mainly depends on the accuracy of estimating the bearing capacity of rock beneath them. Several traditional num...
