Estimation of Distribution Factor for Peak Penetration Resistance Prediction of Spudcan Foundations in Loose to Medium-Dense Sand Overlying Clay

Estimation of Distribution Factor for Peak Penetration Resistance Prediction of Spudcan Foundations in Loose to Medium-Dense Sand Overlying Clay

A series of 3D finite element (FE) analyses were performed to estimate the peak penetration resistance of spudcan foundations in sand over clay soil profiles. Elasto-perfectly plastic models following Mohr–Coulomb and Tresca failure criteria were used for sand and clay layers, respectively. The coup...
