... that penetrate through liquefiable layers. Alternatively, facilities can be placed on shallow foundations that are designed to tolerate permanent ground displacements. These ground displacements depend on various factors such as the density and thickness of the liquefiable layer, the depth to the liquefiable...

... to be the world's first web based application for shallow foundation design that exploits the availability of low cost on-demand cloud computing services. The paper will explain some of the challenges in implementing such a system and provide examples. We believe this type of technology represents the future...

... This paper presents a toolbox for optimizing geotechnical design of subsea foundations. The geotechnical design challenge of subsea shallow foundations is to withstand greater dead and operational loads on soft seabeds without increasing the footprint size or weight. The motivation...

... Abstract This paper presents a methodology for the cost-effective seismic geotechnical design of shallow foundations for typical subsea structures in carbonate sediments. This methodology is focused on the particular design issues experienced in these soils and so the methodology includes...

... in terms of load interaction diagrams and also postulated the cigar shaped V:M:H failure surface shown in Fig. 1 . Recent research has successfully interpreted the drained and undrained behaviour of shallow foundations in terms of plasticity theory 4,5,6,7 . Foundation models based on plasticity theory...

... ABSTRACT A series of centrifuge model tests was performed to study the behavior of shallow foundations on soft normally consolidated clay. The model tests included testing of foundation models with one-dimensional, plane strain, and axially symmetric geometries. The nonlinear consolidation...
