A limited number of laboratory model test results for the ultimate bearing capacity of eccentrically loaded rough surface footing on a sand layer with a rough rigid base at a limited depth have been presented. The model footing has a length-to-width ratio of three. Based on the test results, it appears that the effective area method (Meyerhof, 1953) could be used to predict the ultimate bearing capacity provided that the modified bearing capacity factor, Nγ', can be correctly evaluated.
