Randomized trial evaluates variability in footing settlements on two-layer stratified soil, suggesting improved design processes.

The study aims to evaluate the variability in the limit state of doubly eccentric loaded footing settlements on two-layer stratified soil.
Developed a 3D finite element model incorporating Drucker–Prager and Modified Cam Clay models.
Investigated soil parameter variability using crude Monte Carlo simulations with Latin hypercube sampling.
Analyzed effects of soil type on statistical moments of limit loads and output variability.
Cohesive clay layers in the upper strata produced higher statistical moments of limit loads.
Sandy soils yielded higher mean values of maximum displacement and footing rotation across cases.
Probabilities associated with the initiation point of the Meyerhof curve were estimated.

Ambrosios Antonios Savvides (2026) studied this question.
