• Upper bound limit analysis using simplex strain elements and second‐order cone programming (2007, methodology): “Several upper bound analyses of rigid footings on purely cohesive and cohesive-frictional soil have been made by Sloan and co-workers [5, 7, 49], in all cases using 3-node elements with discontinuities.”
• Exact bearing capacity calculations using the method of characteristics (2005, background): “…this fundamental benchmark problem, especially with regard to the bearing capacity factor Nγ (e.g. the rough footing results of Frydman & Burd (1997) are all high by 40 to 80%, and about one-third of the supposedly rigorous lower bounds of Hjiaj et al. (2005) lie slightly above the exact values).”
