This analysis is carried out using GTS MIDAS 3D software. Mohr Coulomb’s soil model is selected for prediction of soil behaviour. The circular footing is tested under concentric and eccentric loading. The load carrying capacity is calculated for different configuration based on loading criteria and number of soil deposit. The bearing capacity of circular footing resting on homogeneous soil is found to be more than layered deposits. Keywords – Circular Footing, Layered Deposit, Load Carrying Capacity [1] INTRODUCTION Foundation is very important component of structure. The function of foundation is to transfer load of superstructure to the soil. It is substructure constructed below the ground level. According to depth criteria, foundation is classified as shallow foundation and deep foundation, According to shape, footings are classified as square footing, rectangular footing, strap foting and circular footing. The foundation is designed for load transfer from a superstructure to soil without causing any shear failure or settlement failure of the foundation [1]. For every construction work, selection of a suitable load capacity of soil is most needed. The soil stratification also plays major role in transmitting the stresses. In actual field condition, a homogeneous stratum is not always present. A layered deposit is present as strong layer reposing over the weak layer and weak layer resting on the strong deposit. When such situation arises theory of elasticity is employed to derive the governing differential equations In natural condition, we have to deal with multi-layered strata. However, the bearing capacity of footing become more complicated when layered soil exists below footing. Its characteristics plays major role in transmitting the stresses. A layered deposit may present as strong layer reposing over the weak layer or weak layer resting on the strong deposit. The theory of elasticity and the finite difference method can be used for the solution.
