Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Strip Foundations in Unsaturated Soils considering the Intermediate Principal Stress Effect
The reasonable determination of ultimate bearing capacity is crucial to an optimal design of shallow foundations. Soils surrounding shallow foundations are commonly located above the water table and are thus in an unsaturated state. The intermediate principal stress has an improving effect on the un...
