Numerical Estimation of Bearing Capacity of Conical Footing Embedded in Sand
The present study demonstrates the computational bearing capacity estimation of conical footings resting on sand deposits. The parameters varied in this study were (i) embedment ratio, Df/B (where: Df = embedment depth of footing and B = diameter of footing) (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1), (ii) apex angle of conical footing, β (30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150°, and 180°), and (iii) friction angle of sand, ϕ ( 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, and 45°). The Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion and the non-associated flow rule (ψ < ϕ) were considered to be applicable to the soil. The results are expressed in terms of bearing capacity ratio (BCR) and settlement reduction factor (SRF). It is observed that for ϕ < 30°, the magnitude of bearing capacity decreases continuously with an increase in β from 30 to 180°. Whereas, for ϕ > 30°, the minimum bearing load capacity is found to occur generally between β = 120° and β = 150°. In all the cases, it is noticed that the bearing capacity becomes maximum for β = 30°. The bearing capacity values obtained are found comparable to those published in the literature.
