Bearing Capacity of Foundation on Slopes

Bearing Capacity of Foundation on Slopes

Bearing Capacity of Foundation on Slopes

(OP)
Can anyone please direct me to the paper by Meyerhof (1957) "The Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Foundation on Slopes". The bearing capacity factors in most literatur I have found refers to this paper. The vertical axis of the graphs included in this paper are non linear. I am trying to find out how to interpolate between values.

Thanks.

RE: Bearing Capacity of Foundation on Slopes

Check the Proceedings of the 4th ICSMFE, London, 1957, Vol 1, pages 384-386.  I have the proceedings but they are in deep storage some 14,000 km from where I am presently.  Sorry.

The problem is I do not have access to the proceedings and I searched online but didnot find it anywhere.
Can anyone please forward me a copy of the paper.

And thanks BigH for the info.

RE: Bearing Capacity of Foundation on Slopes

If you are in a university in USA, Canada or Britain which has a good geotechnical department, they will probably have the proceedings.  There are some libraries out there accessible in cyberspace (many of which have been identified in earlier threads - any help guys/gals??) - and you can then get the paper from them.

Linda Hall Library will get you what you want for a price.

Interlibrary loan at most libraries can usually get these things.  I use the  Virginia library and it works great!
