Effect of eccentric loads on the behavior of circular footing with/without skirts resting on sand soil
Abstract The stability of circular footings under eccentric vertical loads is a significant problem in geotechnical engineering. Therefore, this paper shows the results of experimental tests carried out on an eccentrically loaded circular foundation on sand soil. The focus of this research is on examining how eccentric loads affect the behavior of circular footings on sand soil, both with and without skirts. Various load eccentricities (e) equals zero, 2.50, 5.00, 7.50, 10.00, 12.50, 15.00, 17.50 and 20.00 mm are used. In addition to, a 60 mm-diameter circular foundation and sand with an 85% relative density (Dr) are used in this experimental study. To study the effect of changing the skirts depth on the load-settlement response skirts with different depths (h) = 60 mm, 150 mm, 240 mm are used for vertical reinforcement. In comparison to the unreinforced condition, test findings show an improvement in ultimate bearing capacity. When the skirts are positioned at the ideal embedment depth L/D = 4, it is found that the circular footing's load-settlement behavior is enhanced by 92% and 93% in case of using (e/D) ratio = 0.125 and 0.25 compared to the unreinforced case.
