Abstract: This paper presents the bearing capacity analysis of overconsolidated cohesive soils under pad foundation subjected to inclined load in undrained conditions. Calculations were performed for the inclined load of pad foundation by permanent vertical load. The values of eccentricity are equal to 0, 1/12B and 1/6B. Numerical calculations were carried out using finite element method in Plaxis program with the use of characteristic values of parameters, action and resistance. Comparative calculations according to Eurocode 7 and standard PN-81/B-03020 rules were made using characteristic and design values of parameters.
