Soil, Finite Element Methods

The main objective of the present work is to give the systematic way for derivation of Kirchhoff plate-elastic foundation interaction by mixed-type formulation using the Gâteaux differential instead of well-known variational principles of Hellinger–Reissner and Hu–Washizu. Foundation is a Pasternak foundation, and as…

The behavior of elastic plates of rectangular shape on a tensionless Winkler foundation is analyzed. The tensionless character of the foundation is taken into account by using an auxiliary function. The displacement function of the plate is approximated by using the eigenfunctions of the completely free beam. The diff…

In this paper, continuous and discontinuous cases of a contact problem for two elastic layers supported by a Winkler foundation are analyzed using both analytical method and finite element method. In the analyses, it is assumed that all surfaces are frictionless, and only compressive normal tractions can be transmitte…

Starting from two-dimensional (2D) equations of motion and making use of the Galerkin weighted residual approximations, discretized formulations in the Laplace transform domain for the transient behavior of soil-structure interaction problems have been derived. Three different dynamic infinite elements taking into acc…

This paper presents a general algebraical formula to determine the vertical stresses resulting from a linearly distributed surface pressure resting on an elastic medium. This problem and its various derivations has received considerable attention because of its applications in foundation engineering [1–5]. The equatio…

Time dependent creep settlements are one of the most important causes of material deteriorations for the huge water structures such as concrete faced rockfill dams (CFRDs). For this reason, performing creep analyses of CFRDs is vital important for monitoring and evaluating of the future and safety of such dams. In thi…

Abstract An incremental finite element formulation for elasto‐plastic bodies subjected to large strains and large displacements is presented in this paper. The formulation is in Lagrangian co‐ordinates (material description) and the plasticity model employed is the extended von Mises. The bearing capacity of a strip f…

Abstract In this paper, time‐domain dynamic analysis of dam–reservoir–foundation interaction is presented by coupling the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) in the infinite reservoir and foundation domain and the finite element method in the finite dam domain. An efficient coupling procedure is formulate…

The purpose of this paper is to determine the subsoil depth affected from the load on the plate resting on elastic foundation using stress distribution within the subsoil that will be occurred depending on the loading and dimension of the plate. An iterative method is developed in order to determine the effective dept…
