  Bearing Capacity of Skirted Ring Footing Resting on Dense Sand Overlying Soft Clay

  By Rakesh Kumar Dutta, Asma Khatoon

  Abstract: This study determines the ultimate bearing capacity of unskirted/skirted ring footing on dense sand of finite thickness on top of a layer of indefinite extent of soft clay under concentric vertical stress by means of finite element analysis. The thickness of an upper dense sand layer varied between 1 and 4 metres. The upper dense sand layers maintained a friction angle between 40° and 44°. The results indicate that the …
