Influence of a thin horizontal weak layer on the mechanical behaviour of shallow foundations resting on sand

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Maurizio Ziccarelli and Marco Rosone from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the article: Influence of a Thin Horizontal Weak Layer on the Mechanical Behaviour of Shallow Foundations Resting on Sand, in the Journal: Geosciences 2021, 11, 392. of /2021/
• what: In this research numerically conducted through Finite Element Code Plaxis 2D the influence of a horizontal thin weak layer the mechanical behaviour of footings was evaluated.

SUMMARY

Taking into account the typical values for very dense sands (ϕ0 1 > 40◦ ), the weak layer affected the bearing capacity of the foundation for . . .
