Abstract

An attempt is made to give a formulation of the pseudo-static bearing capacity coefficient of a shallow strip footing embedded in slope in c-φ nature of the soil in terms of a single coefficient (Nγe) using limit equilibrium method which is subjected to groundwater flow. Failure surface is assumed linearly varying with cohesion, surcharge and unit weight of the soil. Iteration technique has been applied to optimize the solution. The ultimate bearing capacity equation was derived as a function of different properties of soils and footing, i.e., width of footing, depth of footing, the cohesion of soil, unit weight of soil and depth of water table. Various parametric studies have been studied to show the variation of bearing capacity coefficient with different parameters. Design chart of table has been shown for various ranges of parameters.
