A new method is proposed to estimate the ultimate bearing capacity of the eccentrically loaded strip footing by the upper bound of limit analysis in this paper. The failure mechanism used in the upper bound is obtained by the model test using the carbon rods. The propriety of proposed method is verified by the results of model test, Meyerhof and Saran methods. And the influences of the parameters-footing width, eccentricity, surcharge and so on0on the bearing capacity are also studied in this paper.
