Unsaturated Soils and Foundation Design : Theoretical Considerations for an Effective Stress Framework

Creator:

Baker, Josiah D.

Abstract:

This study presents the theoretical background necessary to model the bearing capacity of shallow and deep foundations in partially saturated soils. The conventional bearing capacity equations for shallow and deep foundations and the 𝛽-method for deep foundation side resistance have been modified to include the effects of matric suction and...
