Szukana fraza: [Abstract = "This paper aims to study the behaviour of a circular footing resting on two granular layers, i.e., a dense sand layer resting on loose sand strata, subjected to a vertical and an inclined loading using the finite element \(FE\) software PLAXIS\-3D. The Mohr\-Coulomb criterion is employed for the analysis of the model, in which two parameters are considered to vary significantly\; \(1\) thickness of the top layer \(dense layer\) and \(2\) friction angle of both the layers."]
