Abstract

The paper presents the performance of a square footing with structural skirts resting on sand and subjected to a lateral load through a numerical study. Strip footings are subjected to lateral forces induced by earthquake movements, wind loads. The lateral forces acting on the footings may be predominant in certain structures such as waterfront structure, earth retaining structure and transmitting power towers. There has been a lack of information about the performance of skirted footings subjected to lateral loads. The results of this study revealed that skirted foundations exhibit lateral capacity values that are near, but not exact, to those of block foundations of the same width and depth. The enhancement in the lateral capacity of skirted foundation increases with increasing skirt depth and shearing resistance of sand.
