Abstract:In terms of five bilateral failure modes of shallow rigid strip foundations near slopes, kinematically admissible velocity fields are constructed using a generalized log-spiral shear mechanism improving the traditional failure mechanism by introducing a geometric factor. The upper-bound solution of the bearing capacity for the foundations near slopes is accordingly derived. The minimum of the five values is the required solution, and the corresponding failure mode is the accepted one. Some examples show the pr… Show more
