A Finite Element Approach to the Upper-Bound Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations Using Zero-Thickness Interfaces

This study presents a robust numerical framework for evaluating the upper-bound ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations in cohesive and C-phi soils using a self-developed finite element method. The model incorporates multi-segment zero-thickness interface elements to accurately simulate soi...
