“…Al-Jubair and Abbas [19] have numerically studied the effects of variation in footing closeness, loading eccentricity and slope angle of a strip footing constructed near the edge of a sloping cohesive ground. They found that the slope effect diminishes as the footing distance from the edge approaches (1.5) times its width.…”

An experimental program and numerical computations were performed to investigate the slope effect on the bearing capacity of an eccentrically loaded strip footing. Two cases were considered: unreinforced sand slope and reinforced slope by geogrid. Tests were conducted on scaled footing models under various eccentric loads. A parametric study was carried out to examine the effect of the slope on the bearing capacity and the depth of geogrid layers under different eccentric loads. It was shown that the location of the eccentricity of applied load with respect to the slope face has a significant effect on the bearing capacity. This latter increase when the distance from applied eccentric load to the slope face also increases. Obtained results also showed that the bearing capacity of strip footing also depends on the inclination of ground surface in comparison to that predicted from horizontal ground.

The study aims to assess the impact of geogrid reinforcement on embankments over soft soil subjected to strip loading through experimental and finite element method–based numerical analyses. Various factors, including footing location, geogrid depth, length, and the number of layers, were systematically varied to evaluate their influences on the bearing capacity of strip footing on top of slope. The study shows that an increase of up to 75 % in bearing capacity was observed for the reinforced slopes with the use of multiple geogrid layers at optimum depths and lengths. Further, the optimum number of geogrid layers is contingent upon the footing location. Moreover, the effectiveness of single basal reinforcement for different footing locations and dimensions was explored, and an improvement of up to 34.5 % was observed in bearing capacity. Further, the results indicate that effective improvement in bearing capacity through basal reinforcement is only possible when the failure zone penetrates the interface between the embankment and base soil. Otherwise, the use of multiple layers of reinforcement at shallower depths is proved to be more effective.
