Abstract :

[en] In 1920 Prandtl published an analytical solution for the bearing capacity of a soil under a strip load. Over the years, extensions have been made for a surrounding surcharge, the soil weight, the shape of the footing, the inclination of the load, and also for a slope. In order to check the current extensions of a loaded strip footing next to a slope, many finite element calculations have been made, showing that these extensions are often inaccurate. Therefore new factors have been proposed, which are for both the soil-weight and the surcharge slope bearing capacity, based on the numerical calculations, and for the cohesion slope bearing capacity, also on an analytical solution.
