Bearing capacity of two interfering footings
Jyant Kumar,K. M. Kouzer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an upper bound limit analysis in conjunction with finite elements and linear programming was performed on the bearing capacity of two interfering rough strip footings, resting on a cohesionless medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of relative density and confining pressure on Poisson ratio from bender and extender elements tests
Jyant Kumar,B. N. Madhusudhan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used bender and extender elements tests, together with measurements of the travel times of shear (S) and primary (P) waves, to determine the variation of Poisson ratio (nu) for dry sands with respect to changes in relative densities and effective confining pressures (sigma(3)).
Journal ArticleDOI
Interference of Two Closely Spaced Strip Footings on Sand Using Model Tests
Jyant Kumar,Manas Kumar Bhoi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the interference effect on the bearing capacity of two closely spaced strip footings, placed on the surface of dry sand, was investigated by using small scale model tests, and the experimental observations presented in this technical note were similar to those given by different available theories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Passive pressure coefficients, critical failure surface and its kinematic admissibility
Jyant Kumar,K. S. Subba Rao +1 more
TL;DR: Using a combination of a logarithmic spiral and a straight line as a failure surface, comprehensive charts have been developed to determine the passive earth pressure coefficients and the positions of the critical failure surface for positive as well as negative wall friction angles as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The variation of N-gamma with footing roughness using the method of characteristics
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the friction angle on bearing capacity of a strip footing was analyzed by employing a curved trapped wedge under the footing base; this wedge joins the ground base at a distance B-t from the footing edge.
