Sami O. Akbas, Auteur ; Fred H. Kulhawy, Auteur |The results of 167 full-scale field load tests were used to examine several issues related to the load-displacement behavior of footings in cohesionless soils under axial compression loading, including (1) method to interpret the “failure load” [...]

Sami O. Akbas, Auteur ; Fred H. Kulhawy, Auteur |An extensive database of full-scale field load tests was used to examine the bearing capacity for footings in cohesionless soils. Each load test curve was evaluated consistently to determine the interpreted failure load (i.e., bearing capacity) [...]

Yu Wang, Auteur ; Fred H. Kulhawy, Auteur |A geotechnical foundation design should address at least three basic requirements: ultimate limit state (ULS), serviceability limit state (SLS), and economics. Most conventional design approaches focus on ULS and/or SLS optimization, with econom[...]

Yit-Jin Chen, Auteur ; Hsin-Wen Chang, Auteur ; Fred H. Kulhawy, Auteur |Representative interpretation criteria are examined to evaluate the capacity of drilled shaft foundations under axial uplift loading. A wide variety of uplift load test data are used, and these data are divided into drained and undrained databas[...]

Yu Wang, Auteur ; Siu-Kui Au, Auteur ; Fred H. Kulhawy, Auteur |This paper develops a more general reliability-based design approach for drilled shafts that formulates the design process as an expanded reliability problem in which Monte Carlo simulations (MCS) are used in the design. Basic design parameters,[...]

Fred H. Kulhawy, Auteur ; Jie-Ru Chen, Auteur |Current practices are reviewed for the identification, description, and classification of soils containing significant very coarse fractions. The review shows that there are serious shortcomings when these fractions are present. To upgrade curre[...]

Sami O. Akbas, Auteur ; Fred H. Kulhawy, Auteur |A probabilistic method is presented to estimate the differential settlements of footings on cohesionless soils, considering the uncertainties in both the load and capacity sides of the design equation. A random field approach is employed to char[...]

Yu Wang, Auteur ; Fred H. Kulhawy, Auteur |Extensive research has been conducted on reliability-based design (RBD) for the ultimate limit state (ULS). Several RBD codes have been developed and implemented around the world that calibrate the ULS design for a target ULS reliability index ([...]
