This paper presents the numerical solutions for the bearing capacity of strip footing under inclined and eccentric loads on rock mass obeying the Hoek-Brown yield criterion. This study applies the lower and upper bound finite element limit analysis to evaluate the numerical solutions. The dimensionl...
