Footing Load Tests on Sand: Validating Theoretical Predictions

Gupta, Sanjay / Sundaram, Ravi / Gupta, Sorabh

Abstract As structures get taller and the load demand on the foundation soils increases, it has become imperative to reconsider conventional geotechnics, and calibrate and validate our theoretical predictions with ground conditions. A prototype footing load test was conducted on a 2 m × 2 m size concrete footing for a better assessment of the load-settlement behavior at a site in Noida. This paper presents the test results and compares them to results from conventional methods of analysis. A numerical simulation of the test conditions has also been performed using finite element method to validate the field results with mathematical simulation. It has been found the results of the field test are in good agreement with theoretical predictions, thus enhancing the factor of reliability of our foundation analysis.
