Numerical Analysis, Plane Strain, Finite Element, T-shaped footingAbstract
This paper presents parametric studies of bearing capacity factor of T-shaped strip foundations in clay. The footing has a connected part projected from the center of the footing and embedded into the ground. This part increases the stability and performance of the footing subjected to eccentrically inclined load or moment. The two dimensional finite element with plane strain condition was employed to determine stability of this problem. The computational result is bearing capacity factor (Nc) which is a function of ratio of embedded length and width (D/B) and ratio of eccentric length and width (e/B). The results show that the solution of Nc increase with an increase of D/B and a decrease of e/B.
