Abstract
Experimental and theoretical investigations indicate that the seismic bearing capacity of foundations is affected by earthquake excitation. In the present study, an analytical procedure is presented to obtain the seismic bearing capacity factor of shallow strip footing NγE for a foundation under inclined load on cohesionless soils. The limit equilibrium method with numerical iteration technique is utilized to calculate the seismic bearing capacity factor NγE. In the proposed analysis the Kötter’s equation and a failure surface consisting log-spiral and planar surface are employed. The results indicate that the seismic bearing capacity is reduced due to an increase in horizontal coefficient of earthquake acceleration. Besides, the results are in good agreement with solutions available in the literature.
