Abstract
⺠We present an integrated laboratory and numerical study of cantilever failures. ⺠In this laboratory study, the dominant failure mechanism is observed to be toppling. ⺠Numerical modeling of triaxial tests shows that the Mohr-Coulomb model has a better agreement for ML than CL soil types. ⺠The magnitude of cantilever displacement is highly sensitive to elastic modulus but relatively insensitive to Poisson's ratio. ⺠All failures take place in greater upper width than undermining depth.
