Bearing Capacity Factors for Eccentrically Loaded Strip Footings Using Variational Analysis

Bearing capacity factors for eccentrically loaded strip smooth footings on homogenous cohesive frictional material are deduced by the variational limit equilibrium method and by assuming general shear failure along continuous curved slip surface. From the calculated results, the effective width rule...
