Abstract: The stability of strip foundations situated at naturally occurring site conditions, particularly in proximity to soil slopes characterized by low bearing capacity, constitutes a significant challenge for engineers. The current investigation elucidates the behavior of strip foundations positioned adjacent to soil slopes composed of soft soil with inadequate bearing capacity. Among the various methodologies employed for assessing soil stability, the implementation of micro piles is utilized to enhance the load-bearing capacity of the foundation and improve the soil's bearing capacity in the immediate vicinity of the foundation. Utilizing the finite element software Plaxis 2D, the interaction between the strip footing and the earth slope can be quantified across multiple parameters, including horizontal displacements, vertical displacements, and effective stresses.
