Recent developments on bearing capacity of strip foundation on granular soil under eccentrically inclined load

Bearing capacity of shallow foundations is one of the most important areas of study in geotechnical engineering. Since the founding work of Terzaghi (1943), results of several theoretical and experimental investigations have been published. Most of these studies relate to the case where the foundation is subjected to centric vertical load. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to summarize the important developments related to the estimation of the ultimate bearing capacity of a shallow strip foundation on granular soil subjected to eccentrically inclined loading. Reduction factors to estimate the ultimate bearing capacity of foundations have been discussed.
