Lower‐Bound Collapse Load of Square Footing
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 113, Issue 8
Abstract
Based on a radial moment field and the square yield criterion, a lower-bound collapse load is developed for a square footing subjected to a generalized contact pressure distribution. The current lower-bound collapse load compares well with the available upper-bound solutions.
