Skirted foundations are considered a viable foundation type for a variety of offshore applications, facilities for the oil gas industry and structures where scour is major concern. In offshore structures, power transmitting cables and earth retaining structures, the lateral forces acting on the footings may be dominant. Thus there is need to study performance of skirted strip footings subjected to lateral loads. In the present study, static lateral load tests were performed to shed some lights on the performance of equal skirted strip footings. Different parameters were the effect of the ratio of depth of skirt to width of footing (d/B), the ratio of distance of footing from crest to the width of footing (b/B). From the results of laboratory tests, it was found that as the depth of skirt increases and as the distance of the crest to the width of footing increases, the ultimate lateral load carrying capacity of footings increases significantly.
