The assessment of bearing capacity in shallow foundations on layered soils has traditionally relied upon empirical models, often assuming the presence of a strip footing. In their recent research, published in the Australian Geomechanics Society journal, engineers Sean Goodall and Richard Merifield have delved into a comprehensive exploration of the three-dimensional bearing capacity. Specifically, their […]
