Overview

This review demonstrates how skirted foundations improve bearing capacity and reduce settlement in diverse soils, suggesting effective geotechnical solutions.

Key Points

  • The use of skirted foundations can enhance bearing capacity by up to 470% and reduce settlement by 186% under various loading conditions.
  • Skirted foundations are particularly beneficial for offshore constructions, offering a competitive edge over traditional foundation types.
  • Optimal design factors including skirt length and depth influence the stability and performance of shallow foundations against lateral loads.
  • The findings highlight that skirted foundations are a cost-effective alternative to deep foundations, addressing economic feasibility in soil improvement.
