Résumé

This paper is concerned with the undrained bearing capacity of embedded strip footing under inclined loading (i.e. combined
vertical and horizontal). A series of numerical computations using the finite-difference code Fast Lagrangian Analysis of
Continua (FLAC) was carried out to evaluate the failure envelopes in vertical force – horizontal force (V-H) plane, using both
probe and swipe analyses. The adopted approach involves a numerical solution of the equations governing elasto-plastic soils.
The soil is modeled by an elasto-plastic model with a Tresca criterion. The results are presented in terms of the failure
envelope in vertical and horizontal loading plane.
