Abstract

[Results of a series of centrifuge tests addressing the effect of embedment on the capacity of a shallow rectangular foundation on dense sand under eccentric vertical loads are reported. Vertical and overturning moment load capacities are assessed, where overall load capacity is expressed as a failure envelope in vertical and moment load space. Distribution of lateral earth pressure along the embedded depth of the footing is measured and resulting collapse mechanism for the soil is compared to a case involving surface loading. Results account for a general enhancement of footing capacity with increasing embedment, where observed enhancement is expressed as a function of embedment ratio.]
