Inclined foundation
Inclined foundation
(OP)
G'day All!
Just would like to enquire if anyone can lead me to specifications or concepts on:
1.) Effects of soil inclination to foundation eg: soil is inclined and footing is inclined along it.
- doing some experiment with foundation and i have to incline a footing along the grade of the soil.
2.) anything on inclined foundation or footings!
Cheers!

Anyhow, you are much better stepping thefoundation than to slope it, a flat surface is easier for the builder, and avoids that messy sliding issue.

Yup, a footing problem down-under..
anyway, im actually designing a precasting (prestressing) bulkhead. A previous design had a triangular footing to counter the eccentric stressing load of 2400KN and used the friction / bearing of the sloping portion to take on the horizontal force ( fancy design ).
was checking whether i could do the same design or present a new one.
am looking into the merits of the previous design.
im also looking at a spread footing with bored piers anchors..
anyway, one more shot.. how much load factor should be given to the prestressing load ( deadload factor =1.2, live load =1.5 ) Im inclined to use 1.2 since the load is controlled and will not vary that much.. any thoughts on this?
Cheers!
