EFFECT OF AN EXISTING FOOTING ON THE LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY OF FOUNDATION

The behaviour of a newly constructed foundation in the presence of an existing one has been studied. The theoretical analysis incorporating a circular-tangential rupture surface reveals that the load carrying capacity of the newly constructed foundation increases considerably if the existing foundation is located within a centre to centre distance less than or equal to 1.5 times the footing width from the same.
