Evaluation of Undrained Bearing Capacities of Wide-Shallow Bucket Foundation with Honeycomb Bulkheads in Clay
Table 1
Notation for loads and displacements.
| | Vertical | Horizontal | Rotational |
| Displacement | | | θ | Load | V | H | M | Uniaxial capacity | Vult | Hult | Mult | Bearing capacity factor | NcV = Vult/Asu0 | NcH = Hult/Asu0 | NcM = Mult/ADsu0 | Dimensionless load | V/Asu0 | H/Asu0 | M/ADsu0 | Normalized load | = V/Vult | h = H/Hult | m = M/Mult |

Note. A = πD2/4; su0 is the undrained shear strength at the foundation bottom level.
