Bearing Capacity and Settlement of Ring Footings

Abstract eng:
Nowadays, more and more ring footings are used in practice. They provide support for structures such as bridge piers, underground stops, water towers, mine, silos and so on. Therefore, the theoretical prediction of ultimate bearing capacity and settlement for ring footings is a requirement in the design. In spite of this fact that a few numerical and experimental studies have been performed to determine the bearing capacity and settlement of these structures for both smooth and rough footings, but there is no collective literature to present the results and design methods to calculate the bearing capacity and settlement of ring footings. In this paper, due to the research which has been done until now, the behavior of ring footing compared with circular footing has been reviewed and the design method of these structures is presented algorithmically
