The study aims to evaluate the effects of eccentricity, inclination of load along with eccentric-inclined load on performance of square footing resting over sand. The laboratory load tests were conducted on the model footing with eccentric load and/or inclined load. The eccentricity ratio (e/B) and inclination angle (α) varied from 0 to 0.2 and 0° to 30° respectively. The results shows that the bearing capacity decreases with increase in the load eccentricity and load inclination.

Abstract


The study aims to evaluate the effects of eccentricity, inclination of load along with eccentric-inclined load on performance of square footing resting over sand. The laboratory load tests were conducted on the model footing with eccentric load and/or inclined load. The eccentricity ratio (e/B) and inclination angle (α) varied from 0 to 0.2 and 0° to 30° respectively. The results shows that the bearing capacity decreases with increase in the load eccentricity and load inclination.
