...1. INTRODUCTION Design of foundations on soil is evidently based on a legacy of limiting equilibrium analyses of strip footings (plane strain) from an era of pre-digital computer days. Collapse loads based slipline solutions to rigid-ideally plastic problems used with a judicious factor of safety...

... this solution to evaluate a series of small-size footing laboratory tests. Subsequently, Goodman (1980) proposed the tip resistance factor (Ncr) for foundations on rock masses with vertical joints, as given in Eq. (3). In this study, these test results and others were used to re-evaluate the Bishnoi correction...

..., even though subsidence damage has not been fully ana- lyzed, preliminary observations of the cracks that formed in the foundations are reported. These cracks resulted in the separation of one footing into distinct pieces; therefore, their effect on the tilt readings is cited. INTRODUCTION...
