Practical Soil-Shallow Foundation Model for Nonlinear Structural Analysis

Practical Soil-Shallow Foundation Model for Nonlinear Structural Analysis

Soil-shallow foundation interaction models that are incorporated into most structural analysis programs generally lack accuracy and efficiency or neglect some aspects of foundation behavior. For instance, soil-shallow foundation systems have been observed to show both small and large loops under inc...
