Probabilistic VHM Failure Envelopes for Skirted Foundations in Spatially Variable, Normally Consolidated Clay

Skirted foundations are used in offshore applications to resist the large horizontal and moment loads that are characteristic of the ocean environment. The ultimate capacity of a skirted foundation subjected to vertical-horizontal-moment (VHM) loading combinations can be described using failure envelopes in VHM load space. This represents a far...
