The results of Monte-Carlo simulations are presented in terms of failure envelopes defined in VM load space for different spatial correlation lengths. The area of the soil mass affected during failure is quantified as the consequence and employed to assess the risk associated with footing failure. This study provides new insight into the behavior of an eccentrically loaded strip footing on random soil.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:37 AEDT ]]>
