In this paper,the influence of the limited-tension interface between lid and soil on the undrained bearing capacity of the wide-shallow bucket foundation is examined by finite element(FE)analysis.The interface between the lid and the soil is modeled using a simplified approach called the surface-based cohesive behavior,with the aim of simulating the limited-tension interface.Ini-tially,the interaction between the lid and the soil is explored under the zero-and unlimited-tension conditions by small-scale experi-ments.Afterward,the effects of the embedment ratio,soil strength heterogeneity,and lid-soil interface on the bearing capacity are outlined,and the failure mechanisms are explained by FE analysis.A modified closed-form formula is given to compute the moment bearing capacity with the limited-tension interface between the lid and the soil for different embedment ratios and soil strength het-erogeneities.The numerical results reveal that the existing approximating solutions,which assume fully bonded interaction,accu-rately exhibit the shape of the normalized failure envelopes in hm and vh load space for the limited-tension interface.However,the shape of the vm envelopes differs,requiring a novel solution to estimate the combined bearing capacity of the bucket foundation based on the embedment ratio and soil strength heterogeneity with a zero-tension interface between the lid and the soil.
