Bearing Capacity of Strip Footings Resting on Sandy Sloping Ground: A Numerical Study
Construction of shallow footing near the sloping ground is a common practice in the hilly region. However, bearing capacity estimation of such footings requires special attention due to the interference of slope geometry with the failure zone of the footing. It has been observed that the bearing capacity of footing reduces substantially for such cases as compared to the plain ground due to the lesser passive resistance offered by the disturbed failure zone of the footing. In this regard, the conventional limit analysis-based bearing capacity theories are noticed to provide conservative results which lead to uneconomical design of the sub-structure. A finite element-based numerical study has been carried out in the present study to investigate the bearing capacity of strip footings resting on the sandy sloping ground. The influence of setback ratio and the effect of inclined loading on the load-carrying capacity of the footing has been investigated, and the results are discussed in details.
