Bearing Capacity Behavior of Skirted Foundations on Unsaturated Soils

One of the most important factors for designing a safe foundation is the amount of bearing soil capacity and allowable settlement according to the type of structure. Therefore, in geotechnical engineering, the aim is to improve foundations' bearing capacity in many ways, some of which are expen...
