Abstract (EN): This paper investigates the behaviour of shallow foundations on sloping ground when loaded up to collapse, in order to assess the effect of including geometrical non-linearity in the finite element model. A comparison is presented between the collapse loads and mechanisms obtained with either small strain or large strain formulations, for flexible strip footings with centred vertical loading on a cohesive soil for undrained conditions. The formulas proposed by several authors to account for the sloping ground effect and the footing depth effect on bearing capacity are used to appraise the numerical results. © CIMNE, 2007.
