... with inclined skirt surface. In clay with low undrained shear strength, the influence of the inclined surface in skirted foundations is greater. With increasing length/diameter ratio for skirted foundations, the pullout capacity increases due to holding greater soil mass in plug and due to greater soil...

... of the debris applied by the water wedge. A pressure drag force on the front of the soil mass was also added by using the pressure drag coefficient derived by Newman (1977). Most of the empirical equations and assumptions applied in previous research have not been verified. Also there is a contradiction...

... ABSTRACT This paper describes a numerical study of a laboratory experiment related to a soil-structure interface. The soil sample in the interface test is divided into (a) a soil mass and (b) an interface layer. The average values of the normal stress and the shear stress acting on the contact...

If the soil mass is allowed to flow, water jetting can break off soil particles and transport the loose materials...
