Numerical simulation of bearing capacity for rigid footing on cohesive soil

Foundation is one of the main component structures in civil engineering construction. It is crucial to make sure that the load distribution on the soil is adequate to prevent soil failure.. Foundation transfers the loads from superstructure to substructure or soil. A foundation plays an important ro...
