...Atish K. Das; Chittaranjan Patra; Khaled Sobhan The deformation behaviour of footing under the load from the superstructure is fundamental to foundation design consideration. The deformation of footing changes when subjected to moment along with the central vertical load. The application of moment...

... and crushability of both sands. Results indicated a distinct difference in failure mode between the two sands. The footing on silica sand exhibited a shallow failure mode with large localised strains close to the soil surface. In contrast, the footing on carbonate sand mobilised strains lower in magnitude over...

...Francesco Castelli, PhD; Valentina Lentini, PhD In the last few decades, a great amount of interest has developed in the evaluation of the influence of bearing capacity of shallow foundations on slopes. When a footing is placed near a slope the bearing capacity may be reduced. In fact, the failure...

...R. Bando; J. Izawa; O. Kusakabe This paper describes the results of a series of loading tests of a rectangular footing, with an aspect ratio of two, resting on dry sand and subjected to double eccentricity in a centrifuge. The results indicate that current design practice of calculating failure...
