In the present research, the overall response of interacting skirted strip footings resting on soft clayey soil over dense sand has been numerically investigated with the aid of finite element. The load carrying capacity of interfering skirted strip footings has been assessed by altering different geometrical and geotechnical parameters namely, depth of clayey layer, depth of water table, embedment depth of footing and spacing between footings. The interacting mechanism of skirted strip footings has been perceived through displacement mechanism. Moreover, the bending moment patterns of interfering skirts have been investigated for various spacings. Finally, the critical spacing, the spacing after which the interfering skirted strip footing behaves as isolated skirted strip footing, has been assessed through changing various geometrical and geotechnical parameters. It has been observed that changing of water table depth has no impact over critical spacing of skirted strip footings. It has been perceived that the extreme bending moment in interfering skirt increases with increasing the spacing between skirted strip footings up to critical spacing and beyond critical spacing the obtained maximum bending moments are identical.

在目前的研究中，借助于有限元数值研究了在稠密的沙子上的软质粘性土上相互作用的裙带状地基相互作用的整体响应。通过改变不同的几何和岩土参数，即黏土层的深度，地下水位的深度，地基的埋入深度和地基之间的间距，来评估干扰地基带状地基的承载能力。通过位移机制已经认识到裙带基础的相互作用机制。此外，已经针对各种间距研究了干扰裙的弯矩模式。最后，临界间距，在该间距之后，干扰裙带基脚的行为就像孤立的裙带基脚，通过更改各种几何和岩土参数来评估。已经观察到，地下水位深度的变化对裙带基脚的临界间距没有影响。已经意识到，随着裙板带脚之间的间距增加到临界间距，并且超过临界间距，在干涉裙缘中的极限弯矩会增加，所获得的最大弯矩是相同的。
