Ring foundations are widely used to support various types of offshore structures because of
the cost-effective reason. Unlike the traditional circular foundations, very few studies were …

In this paper, new limit analysis solutions for the bearing capacity of ring foundations on rock
masses are presented, where the Hoek–Brown yield criterion is used as a failure criterion for …

New limit analysis solutions for the end bearing capacity of annular foundations in clay with
linearly increasing shear strength are presented in the paper. The strength profile of clay …

The ring footing problems are axisymmetric in nature and are used as foundation for
supporting isolated structures like chimneys, storage tanks, and silos. The bearing capacity …

The finite element limit analysis solution presented in this paper offers novel approaches for
estimating the ultimate bearing capacity of annular foundations on Hoek–Brown criterion …

The prime focus of this article is to analyze the bearing capacity of a ring footing resting over
sands, which is underlain by fully cohesive strata. The analyses are performed by using the …

This study is aimed at analyzing the behavior of ring footings on layered foundation systems.
The influence of layer stratification, foundation type, and subgrade strength on the behavior …

This study uses finite element analysis to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of
unskirted/skirted ring footing under concentric, vertical loads. The clay cohesion and …

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to estimate the ultimate bearing capacity of the E-
shaped footing resting on two layered sand using finite element method. The solution was …

In the present study, the drained bearing capacity factors N'c, N'q and N'γ for rough base
circular and ring footings with and without skirts are determined by using the finite element …
