FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF BI ANGLE SHAPED SQUARE FOOTING UNDER TWO WAY ECCENTRIC LOADING
Abstract: Footing subjected to eccentric loading along two mutually perpendicular axes is quite a common field problem. Due to this bearing capacity is reduced considerably as the effective size is drastically reduced. A footing may be subjected to two-way eccentricity due to many reasons. In the case of footing subjected to one-way eccentricity the common practice is to match the centre of gravity of column loads to centre of gravity of …
