Abstract

Considering the occurrence of an earthquake, the bearing capacity of a strip footing placed on a saturated cohesive-frictional soil mass has been computed by performing a pseudo-static rigorous analysis incorporating the existence of (i) excess pore water pressures, and (ii) additional seismic- tractions and body forces. The analysis has been carried out by using lower and upper bounds finite elements limit analysis (FELA) in conjunction with the second order cone programming (SOCP) using the Mohr-Coulomb (MC) yield criterion. The generation of the excess pore water pressure in the event of an earthquake has been incorporated by defining a pore pressure coefficient ru − a ratio of the excess pore water pressure to the total vertical overburden stress at any point. The analysis has revealed that the bearing capacity reduces considerably with an increase in the magnitude of horizontal earthquake acceleration. For a given magnitude of earthquake acceleration, the bearing capacity reduces extensively further with an increase in the value of ru. All the computational results have been presented in a non-dimensional manner, and for the validation purpose, necessary comparisons have also been made. The study will be useful for designing foundations in a seismically active zone.

期刊介绍: The use of computers is firmly established in geotechnical engineering and continues to grow rapidly in both engineering practice and academe. The development of advanced numerical techniques and constitutive modeling, in conjunction with rapid developments in computer hardware, enables problems to be tackled that were unthinkable even a few years ago. Computers and Geotechnics provides an up-to-date reference for engineers and researchers engaged in computer aided analysis and research in geotechnical engineering. The journal is intended for an expeditious dissemination of advanced computer applications across a broad range of geotechnical topics. Contributions on advances in numerical algorithms, computer implementation of new constitutive models and probabilistic methods are especially encouraged.
