Abstract
A series of model tests has been conducted to study the effect of footing embedment and load eccentricity on the load-settlement and moment-rotation relationships as well as on the bearing capacity. A method was developed for predicting the nonlinear response of an embedded footing, which uses elasticity theory to model soil behavior at low load levels and then incorporates soil nonlinearity in compliance with the experimental behavior. In addition, the effect of embedment on the interaction diagrams between vertical loads and moments that cause failure of the footing is analyzed.
