Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of spatial correlation length on the behavior of an eccentrically
loaded strip footing (or a footing subjected to combined vertical and moment (VM) loading) resting on spatially
variable soil, using a combination of adaptive finite element limit analysis and random field theory. The results
of Monte-Carlo simulations are presented in terms of failure envelopes defined in VM load space for different
spatial correlation lengths. The area of the soil mass affected during failure is quantified as the consequence and
employed to assess the risk associated with footing failure. This study provides new insight into the behavior of
an eccentrically loaded strip footing on random soil.
