Bearing Capacity of Multiple Strip Footings and Critical Spacing between Unlagged Soldier Piles -A Classical Plasticity Solution

摘要

It is demonstrated in the paper that the loading and boundary condition of the classic plasticity problem corresponding to an inverted sheet extrusion through a square die is equivalent to the bearing capacity of equally spaced multiple strip footings on cohesive soils. Furthermore, the same solution is shown to be appropriate to estimate the pile spacing/cut depth relationship for unlagged soldier pile systems.
