The results presented in this paper systematically quantify shape effects on undrained capacity of rectangular mudmat foundations under multi-directional loading for a practical range of soil shear strength heterogeneity. Mudmat foundations are extensively deployed to support infrastructure for subsea production systems, are typically rectangular in plan, ranging from square to a width-to-length aspect ratio of 0.2, and are subject to multi-directional loading from the attached pipelines and jumpers. The load-carrying capacity of rectangular mudmats on deposits with undrained shear strength linearly increasing with depth is analysed by the finite-element method, and presented in the form of ‘failure envelopes’. The results show that shape e...
