The work in this study explores the load-settlement behavior of the six different shaped footing (Square, circular, rectangular, hexagonal, octagonal and triangular) specimens under monotonic and incremental cyclic loading. For this purpose, footing specimens of surface area 150cm2 with plate thickness 8mm was taken and choosing their dimension accordingly. They are studied under yellow soil. Monotonic and cyclic loading are two parameters for designing the foundation. Therefore monotonic and cyclic loading tests were conducted on all the specimens and load intensity v/s settlement curves are plotted. For this, a tank of size 125cm x 75cm x 45cm was filled up to 40cm in 4 layers of 10 cm by yellow soil. By applying same load, settlement is noted and curves are drawn Plotted curves gives comparative results of six footing specimens for monotonic and incremental cyclic loading. Square footing specimen shows lesser settlement and triangular footing specimen shows higher settlement while other specimens give intermediate settlement. Means the load carrying capacity of square footing specimen is higher than the other specimens.
