Experimental and Numerical Parametric Studies on Inclined Skirted Foundation Resting on Sand

Skirted foundation behavior is enhanced due to the increase in skirt angle. The bearing capacity of inclined skirted foundations resting on sandy soil influenced by parameters and skirting systems. Finite element analyses were carried out using Plaxis-3D software find influence relative density, internal friction angle supported soil, additional skirts foundations. experimental work a small physical scale was also support numerical findings, which give an acceptable agreement. findings revealed that density resulted significant foundation. In same way, as increases, affected this increase, improves value. effect observed be neglected, and, some cases, it causes negative effect. study contribute greater comprehension can assist future design more efficient effective Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-07-017 Full Text: PDF
