This paper applies numerical limit analyses to evaluate the ultimate bearing capacity of a
surface footing resting on a rock mass whose strength can be described by the generalised …

In this study, the Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) model is employed to
create a data-driven prediction for the bearing capacity of a strip footing on rock mass …

This study communicates a novel seismic stability assessment of rock slopes based on the
concept of the limiting slope face (LSF) combined with the method of stress characteristics …

The paper deals with the stability analysis of a water-saturated rock slope by means of the
kinematic approach of limit analysis theory. Particular emphasis is first given to the effects of …

MODIFIED HB FAILURE CRITERION In geotechnical engineering, a linear MC failure
criterion has been widely used. With the failure criterion, the relationship between the …

Reliably estimating the mechanical properties of discontinuous rock masses remains one of
the greatest challenges faced in the discipline of rock mechanics. This paper discusses the …

In this paper, the seismic bearing capacity of a strip footing sitting on rock masses has been
investigated following the upper bound theorem of limit analysis. The generalized tangential …

Footings are constructed closely to each other in mountainous rock areas and the
determination of closely spaced bearing capacity footings on rock masses has become an …

The bearing capacity of shallow foundations resting on a modified Hoek–Brown rock mass is
investigated within the framework of the kinematic approach of limit analysis theory. At the …

Rocks encountered in foundations of heavy structures are invariably intersected by
discontinuities (joints). In the past, several studies have been performed by researchers to …
