Abstract
This paper investigates the similitude law for strip footing resting on cohesionless soils using a 2D finite element analyses. The 2D finite element analyses were conducted considering three different conditions: laboratory model test under 1-g, centrifuge test under n-g, and full scale test under 1-g. T he scaling relations in stress and displacement among the tests were examined for varying internal friction angle. The friction angles used were 32, 35, 38, 41 and 44°. The cohesionless soils were simulated using the Hardening Soil model, which enables the increase in shear strength and stiffness with depth. Based on series of numerical results, the scaling relations were suggested for bearing pressure and settlement of strip footing
