Evaluation of shallow foundation bearing capacity in the case of a two-layered soil and spatial variability in soil strength parameters.
In this study, a probabilistic approach for evaluating the bearing capacity of surface footings is discussed. The evaluation is based on a kinematic approach. The considered substrate consists of two different layers of soil: a top layer formed of medium or dense sand followed by a layer of soft cla...
