By using an upper bound limit analysis in conjunction with finite elements and linear programming, the ultimate bearing capacity of two interfering rough strip footings, resting on a cohesionless medium, was computed. Along all the interfaces of the chosen triangular elements, velocity discontinuiti

Current studies of bearing capacity for shallow foundations tend to rely on the hypothesis of an isolated footing. In practice a footing is never isolated; it is mostly in interaction with other footings. This paper focuses on a numerical study using the finite-difference code Fast Lagrangian Analys
For a strip footing under axial loading, the bearing capacity is influenced by the presence of rigid walls confining the foundation soil. This problem is investigated within the framework of the theory of yield design, considering both a perfectly rough and a frictionless contact condition at the in
