The ultimate bearing capacity of footings subjected to axially inclined loads was investigated experimentally by conducting tests on model strip and circular footings on homogeneous sand and clay. The results were analyzed to determine the inclination factors, depth factors, and shape factors incorporated in the general bearing capacity equation for shallow foundations. These values are compared with the recommended values given in the Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual.
