How to draw ultimate capacity envelope for shallow foundation (due to combined action of horizontal and vertical loads) using API-RP-2GEO.
for the purpose of offshore jacket structure mudmat design. Note: Drained and undrained soil
 
More information needed, such as a sketch of what the foundation is (a simple strip footing?), information of the ground conditions (depths, strength profile etc) and loads....
 
The first step is to calculate Vmax and Hmax. API has recommendations for these. After that the relevant V associated with a given H (or vice versa) is related using the inclination factors, ic/iq/iϒ, which use H/Hmax as an input.
