Castelli et. al (2010) developed a model based on the limit equilibrium
method, considering a circular surface propagates towards the slope until the
sloping ground is reached. The bearing capacity is investi-gated considering
either the distance of the footing from the edge of the slope and/or the effect
of the footing embedment
4. Methodology
Various methods of analysis proposed by the researchers are:
1. Limit equilibrium analysis
2. Slip line analysis
3. Limit analysis;(upper bound and lower bound)
4. Finite element analysis
