THREE-DIMENSIONAL BEARING CAPACITY ANALYSIS OF CLAYS UNDER PARTIALLY DRAINED CONDITION. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NUMERICAL METHODS IN GEOMECHANICS, 11-15 APRIL 1988, INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA. VOLUMES 1 - 3

An attempt is made to derive a general procedure of determining ultimate bearing capacity of normally and lightly overconsolidated clay foundations based on the critical state concept with the use of rigid plastic finite element method. The plastic flow at critical state is derived from Sekiguchi-Ohta's model which evaluates anisotropic deformation-strength characteristics of naturally deposited clays. Bearing capacity is calculated for two different drainage conditions: one is undrained condition in which instantaneous loading is assumed and the other, partially drained condition where consolidation during gradual load application is expected to increase the bearing capacity. The effect of footing property such as rigidity and roughness of footing on ultimate bearing capacity is also examined.(a) for the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 820854.
