Bearing Capacity of Footings Adjacent to Slopes
Publication: Journal of Geotechnical Engineering
Volume 115, Issue 4
Abstract
In this paper, analytical solutions have been developed for obtaining ultimate bearing capacity of footings adjacent to slopes using limit equilibrium and limit analysis approaches. One‐sided rupture failure on the side of slope was assumed and partial mobilization was considered on the side of flat ground. Results have been presented in the form of nondimensional parameters Nc, Nq and Nr for different values of ϕ, slope angle and distance of footing from slope edge. Analytical results were compared to carefully conducted model test data and the work of previous investigators.
