The vertical bearing capacity of the foundation soil is verified according to the theory of limit states using the following inequality: σ ≤ Rd/γRV or based on the factor of safety as: Rd/σ ≥ SFv where: σ-extreme design contact stress at the footing bottom Rd-design bearing capacity of foundation soil γRV-coefficient of vertical bearing capacity…
Meyerhof Hanna 1978: Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Footings Resting on Stratified Deposits of Soil: All the theoretical analysis dealt with so far is based on the assumption that the subsoil is isotropic and homogeneous to a considerable depth. In nature, soil is generally non-homogeneous with mixtures of sand, silt and clay in different proportions. In…
The best application for slope stability analysis – Slope Geostru Is a slope stability analysis software that uses boundary equilibrium methods along with advanced numeric models, such as (Element Discrete Method). The use of Slope is very varied, just do a search on the web to find thousands of calculations carried out with this software.…
ASOCIACIÓN COSTARRICENSE DE GEOTECNIA (ACG) La Asociación Costarricense de Geotecnia (ACG) es una Organización no gubernamental adscrita al Colegio de Ingenieros Civiles de Costa Rica (CIC), la cual fue creada en 1979 por un grupo de ingenieros civiles costarricenses, comprometidos con el desarrollo de la geotecnia en Costa Rica. Desde entonces, se ha constituido en…
