These defects are composed of cavities andmicrocracks, whose locations, orientation and size are random variables. The Random Point field Model is proposed to describe the random defects, and the basic equations far elastic field in a random defect medium are dcveloped Twoexaniples are studied in detail. One is a solid with random microcracks and the other is a solid with ellipsoidal cavities.展开更多

This paper aims to study the behavior of ring footing resting on loose sand and/or compacted randomly distributed fiberreinforced sand(RDFS) when subjected to eccentric(0 B, 0.05 B and 0.1 B, where B is the outer diameter of ring footing), inclined(0°,5°,10°, 15°,-5°,-10° and-15°)and eccentric-inclined loadings by using a finite element(FE) software PLAXIS 3 D. The behavior of ring footing is studied by using a dimensionless factor called reduction factor(RF). The numerical model used in the PLAXIS 3 D has been validated by conducting model plate load tests. Moreover, an empirical expression using regression analysis has been presented which will be helpful in plotting a load-settlement curve for the ring footing.展开更多
