Skirted foundations are expanding as a new type of alternative foundations for other prevalent foundations in onshore and offshore structures. The study of skirted foundations performance is essential for evaluating the effect of foundation geometry and soil specification. In this research, the bearing capacity and settlement of circular skirted foundations resting on sand under vertical compression loading was studied by physical modeling and numerical analysiswith consideration of the effect of different parameters including skirt depth, foundation diameter, sand density and surface roughness of the foundation models. The performance of skirted foundations was compared with common types of surface, semi-deep and embedded foundations. Analysis of results showed that the behavior of skirted foundation models compared to the surface foundations has been improved significantly in terms of the enhancement in the values of bearing capacity and subgrade reaction modulus, as well as the reduction of settlement amounts. Improvement in the performance of skirted foundations was increased by increasing the skirt depth and surface roughness of models, and also, reducing the density of the sand. The comparison of the bearing capacity results of the skirted foundations with the corresponding values of the semi-deep foundations showed that the load- bearing behavior of the skirted foundations is close to those of semi-deep foundations with the same depth and diameter. Comparison of the skirted foundations performance relative to embedded surface foundations represents a further reduction in the settlement amounts of surface foundations due to the skirt existence underneath foundation instead of its embedment in depth, as well as the further improvement of bearing capacity by increasing the surface roughness of the skirt.
