Topic: FOUNDATIONS SUBJECTED TO INCLINED LOAD.
Abstract: In this research, the model studies of the shallow foundation of different shapes under different inclination load on the natural soil medium were investigated. Inclination load are the combination of vertical load and horizontal loads. The characteristic of the soil such as spring constant, modulus of subgrade reaction and modulus of elasticity of the soil were determined by using the plate load test. Three types of shape of plate which are circular, square and rectangular were used in this study. The bearing capacity, vertical displacement and horizontal displacement is varied when different shape of plates under different degrees of inclination load. The bearing capacity and vertical displacement of the footing decrease by increasing the degree of inclination load. However, the horizontal displacement increased by increasing the inclination load. The circular plate has largest displacement compared to the square plates and rectangular plate when the width of square and rectangular plates equal to diameter of circular plate.
