Abstract: Parametric study was carried out to evaluate the ultimate bearing capacity of a rough /M5=tW#e
strip footing resting on two-layer clay soil. Computations were performed by the commercial finite 0^-z?Kb<}
element analysis software ABAQUS. The computational results are compared with published VG? yL2y
lower bound and upper bound solutions by limit analysis. lv*Wnn@k
