Abstract:
The tank foundation serves as a support base for oil tanks, ensuring their stability by withstanding the tank's weight. Foundation failure commonly occurs when it cannot support the tank's weight or when the soil's bearing capacity cannot resist the stress imposed by the tank and its foundation. This study aims to ensure the stability of the tank-foundation system by selecting an appropriate foundation system that considers the soil's bearing capacity.

Abstract:
When constructing buildings and engineering structures it is necessary to make a pit for the foundation construction. Excavation works, construction of buildings and engineering structures change the deformation-strength properties of soils, which lie under the foundations. To study the changes in engineering-geological conditions during 2016-2018, on one of the construction sites in Chita (Russia), a well was made to take a soil sample and laboratory studies on physical and mechanical properties of soils were performed. As a result of the studies, it was established that the deterioration of

Abstract:
Shell foundations are often used to raise the carrying capacity of a structure on weak soils. In cases where large superstructure loads must be transferred to poorer soils, shell foundations are more cost-effective than ordinary shallow foundations. Advances in the study and design of shell-type foundations have shown their superiority over traditional footings in poorer soils. The current study aims to investigate shell shape’s influence on ultimate load capacity. Seven footing types’ models were created along with an appropriate testing box.

This study investigates the behavior and performance of a newly proposed cone-top pile foundation designed to improve stability in layered, deformable, or strain-sensitive soils.

To address these limitations, a hybrid foundation was developed that integrates an inverted conical base with a central pile shaft and a rolling joint interface between the foundation and the superstructure.

Abstract:
Expansive soils exist in many countries worldwide, and their characteristics make them exceedingly difficult to engineer. Due to its significant swelling and shrinkage characteristics, expansive soil defies many of the stabilization solutions available to engineers. Differential heave or settlement occurs when expansive soil swells or shrinks, causing severe damage to foundations, buildings, roadways, and retaining structures. In such soils, it is necessary to construct a foundation that avoids the adverse effects of settlement. As a result, building the structure’s foundations on expansive so

Earthquakes have been historically perceived as one of the most damaging natural hazards. Seismic soil liquefaction is often one of the major sources of damage and disruptions, and has been observed to severely affect key lifelines. Settlement and tilting of shallow foundations resting on saturated sandy/silty soils has been repeatedly observed throughout the world as a consequence of liquefaction or softening of the foundation soil. Such settlements and tilts can render structures unusable, and homes uninhabitable, causing significant economic losses. Despite the undoubted relevance of this p

The monopile is the dominant foundation type for offshore wind turbines, with current design guidance based on knowledge transferred from the oil and gas industry. Whilst there are some similarities between wind turbine and oil and gas pile design, there are also a number of key differences. Notably, offshore wind turbine monopiles are subjected to many cycles of large horizontal loads during their lifetime, whereas such loading conditions are not as prevalent in oil and gas design. As a result, the pile response due to this cyclic loading is poorly accounted for in current practice. This thes

Many geotechnical engineering structures, including embankments, slopes and foundations involve unsaturated soils, either because they are constructed of compacted fills which are unsaturated after placement or because they include a zone of unsaturated natural soils above the water table. Moreover, both compacted fills and natural soils are inherently heterogeneous, which leads to an important but complex class of problems whose analysis involves consideration of heterogeneous unsaturated soil.

AbstractConstruction on weak expansive soils is challenging due to their low bearing capacity and high-volume susceptibility under moisture fluctuation. The uplift pressure from expansive clay can induce significant swelling pressure on foundations, but on the other hand, shrinkage of clay can result in substantial foundation settlement during dry seasons. This differential movement of the foundation can distress the superstructure of a building, resulting in serviceable and ultimate limit state failures.

Multi-layered soil conditions often exist in offshore practice. In some sites a thin layer of medium dense sand lays between firm to stiff clay layers. In these cases the ultimate bearing capacity of foundations can be increased due to the strong sand layer by comparing with foundations in uniform clay. However, there is also a potential of reduction in foundation capacity when the foundation punches through the sand layer. The punch-through failure can occur during either pre-loading or storm loading. In this study, the continuous penetration of spudcan foundations on clay-sand-clay soils was

Abstract:
Frozen soil foundations are prone to frost heave and thawing under freeze-thaw cycles, which can cause substantial damage to road structures in permafrost areas. The performance of the thermal insulation of the foamed mixture soil subgrade of the S301 highway in Xinjiang was examined as a case study, and the temporal and spatial variation in temperature and strain of the foamed mixture soil subgrade analyzed and compared with those of the original gravel subgrade. The results show that (1) the thermal insulation performance of the foamed mixture soil subgrade is excellent, temperatures tend to

Abstract:
This manual provides guidance on how to use the cone penetration test (CPT) for site investigation and foundation design. The manual has been organized into three volumes. Volume 1 covers the execution of CPT-based site investigations and presents a comprehensive literature review of CPT-based soil behavior type (SBT) charts and estimation of soil variables from CPT results. Volume 2 covers the methods and equations needed for CPT data interpretation and foundation design in different soil types, while Volume 3 includes several example problems (based on instrumented case histories) with detai
