THE USE OF THE NODE-BASED SMOOTHED FINITE ELEMENT METHOD TO ESTIMATE STATIC AND SEISMIC BEARING CAPACITIES OF SHALLOW STRIP FOOTINGS

The use of the node-based smoothed finite element method to estimate static and seismic bearing capacities of shallow strip footings

The node-based smoothed finite element method (NS-FEM) is shortly presented for calculations of the static and seismic bearing capacities of shallow strip footings.A series of computations has been performed to assess variations in seismic bearing capacity factors with both horizontal and vertical seismic accelerations.Numerical results obtained ag
