Use of a Microcomputer to Determine Slip-Line Fields for Strip Footings

  • Conference paper
Engineering Software III

Abstract

This paper describes a computer program written in the FORTRAN language,to determine slip-line fields by using the “associated fields” method, for drained and undrained loading conditions in plane strain. The program employs finite difference approximations and iteration, to obtain a stress field and a set of displacements according to the boundary conditions. In addition, values are calculated for work dissipated internally and externally for each chosen collapse mode. Selected results appear in the tables which are given at the end of the text.
