Inclination Factors for Bearing Capacity of Shallow Footings
Publication: Journal of Geotechnical Engineering
Volume 113, Issue 9
Abstract
An investigation is made of the inclination factors for estimating the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow strip footings under central load inclined in the direction of footing length. The corresponding theoretical inclination factors are found to be generally larger than the previous factors for a load inclined in the direction of the footing width. The theoretical values of the present inclination factors are compared with some experimental results of model footings on clay and sand.
