Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Considering the nonhomogeneity of a clay foundation, the unilateral sliding failure mode is constructed and the constraint expression of the ultimate bearing capacity of a foundation adjacent to slopes is established based on the upper-bound limit analysis theorem. Calculation of the ultimate bearing capacity has transformed into the solution to the extreme value of the multidimensional objective function with a variable boundary. The improved radial movement optimization is applied to the search for the critical slip surface and the optimization calculation of the ultimate bearing capacity of a foundation adjacent to slopes on nonhomogeneous clay soil. Influence parameter analysis is performed. Through the comparative analysis of three examples, the optimization results indicated that IRMO had high feasibility, accuracy and stability for the calculation of the ultimate bearing capacity. A slope angle exceeding the critical value generated a failure mechanism with slope instability due to the gravity of the soil. Under the assumption that cohesion increased linearly with depth, the increase in soil nonhomogeneity produced a shallower critical slip surface, whereas the ultimate bearing capacity presented a linear increase. When the distance of the footing from the edge of the slope exceeded 5.2 B 0, the ultimate bearing capacity tended to be constant.
