Scale effects of shallow foundation bearing capacity on granular material

This project investigated the scale effects of shallow foundation bearing capacity on granular materials to evaluate the observed decreasing trend of the bearing capacity factor, Nγ, with increasing footing width, B, for a given sand at a given density. Model and prototype scale square and circular...
