Bearing Capacity of Undrained Footing


Introduction To determine the bearing capacity of clayey strata a multi-stage Phase2 model is prepared in which the load stress over the footing is increased gradually until failure. Maximum displacement is recorded for each load stress value, and a graph is plotted between the stress and displacement values for each case. The symmetry of the problem is used while preparing the Phase2 model.
