Abstract:
In this paper, an attempt had been made to analyzed two adjoining shallow square footings subjected to vertical load on layered soil. The finite element software MIDAS3Dwas used for the analysis. The soil was modelled as Mohr-Coulomb model. The present investigation indicates that for footing on layered soil, the bearing capacity of closely spaced footings reduces with increase in the spacing between the footings and is constant at larger spacing.The bearing capacity decreases with increase in the depth of top weak layer.
