Background: The skirt foundation is one of the powerful types of foundations to resist the
lateral loads produced from natural forces, such as earthquakes and wind action, or from the …

Structural skirts are walls fixed to the edges of shallow foundations to improve their bearing
capacities. Sometimes, the shallow foundation is bounded by a close obstruction like a wall …

Finite element limit analysis was used to investigate the performance of an axially loaded
strip footing with structural skirts resting on sandy soils in this work. Three separate cases …

Skirted foundations are nowadays popular due to relatively higher bearing capacity and
greater stability compared to strip footing. Foundations are generally subjected to inclined …

Skirted foundation, in which vertical or inclined wall surrounds one or more sides of the soil
mass beneath the footing, is one of the recognized bearing capacity improvement …

Skirted foundations, in which vertical or inclined wall surrounds one or more sides of the soil
mass beneath the footing, is one of the recognized bearing capacity improvement …

Skirts are used to improve the bearing capacity of shallow footings on sandy soil by
constraining the soil beneath and containing the plastic flow of soil. They are used as an …

The paper presents the performance of a square footing with structural skirts resting on sand
and subjected to a lateral load through a numerical study. Strip footings are subjected to …

Structural skirts have been used underneath shallow foundations of marine structures for
many years, due to their stability advantages. However limited knowledge is available on the …

Civil engineers are constantly developing innovative methods to improve the bearing
capacity and reduce settlement of footing rest on the soil. The skirted foundation is one of the …
