Calcareous desert deposits present significant challenges for geotechnical site characterisation because of their heterogeneous composition, variable carbonate cementation, and complex mechanical behaviour. This study investigates the practical engin...
This study presents a hybrid Artificial Intelligence-Finite Element Method (AI-FEM) predictive model to estimate the modulus of a subgrade reaction of a strip footing rested on a bi-layered profile. A parametric study was carried out using 2D Plaxis...
This paper examines the effects of soil–structure and structure–soil–structure interactions in the design of foundations for adjacent concrete buildings, which are located on soft soils. The study employs an elasto-plastic model thr...
One of the key issues in structural and geotechnical engineering is that most parts of buildings are usually analysed separately and then the outputs are used in foundation designs. In this process, some effects are neglected. In this study, the soil...
