Şevli kohezyonsuz zeminlerde şerit temellerin taşima gücü

Analytical, numerical, empirical, semi-empirical and physical models are used to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. Analytical methods include well-known engineering approaches such as Terzaghi, Meyerhof, Hansen and Vesic. In addition to these approaches, there are many studies on the bearing capacity of foundations constructed on sloping soils. One of the first known studies belongs to Meyerhof (1955). In this thesis, the relationship between the parameters (slope angle, foundation width B, distance of the foundation to the slope b, foundation depth Df, internal friction angle) affecting the ultimate bearing capacity of strip foundations built on top of cohesionless sloped soils and the ultimate bearing capacity (qu) and the bearing capacity factor is investigated. In this study, 2439 models were created and analysed with the Plaxis 2D programme which using the finite element method. The ultimate bearing capacity data obtained were converted into bearing capacity factors. Nonlinear regression analyses were performed with SPSS software using the obtained data. Four empirical bearing capacity factor relations were developed by regression analysis. The numerical model (finite element method) was compared with the empirical relations obtained from Meyerhof's (1955) study on strip foundations constructed on sloped soils and regression analysis. It was found that the bearing capacity coefficient could be determined with great accuracy with the empirical relations developed.
