Abstract

In this paper a new type of foundation is presented that is very much useful under the eccentric loading conditions are known as the “Angle Shaped Footing”. This type of footing was introduced in the year 2000 to nullify the effect of eccentric loading that arises due to various loading conditions. The paper presents studies of the results that arise by varying the length of the projection along with the size of the footing by taking the longer side of the rectangular footing into consideration. The analysis is conducted on a readymade finite element analysis package, ‘ANSYS’. The graphs have been plotted of the results obtained and suitable conclusions have been drawn.
