If the water table in Ex. 1 rises to the ground level, determine the net safe bearing pressure of the footing.
If the water table in Ex. 1 occupies any of the positions (a) 1.25 m below ground level or (b) 1.25 m
A square footing fails by general shear in a cohesionless soil under an ultimate load of Qult – 1687.5 kips. The
The determination of bearing capacity of soil based on the classical earth pressure theory of Rankine (1857) began with Pauker,
A rectangular footing of size 10 x 20 ft is founded at a depth of 6 ft below the ground
Terzaghi (1943) used the same form of equation as proposed by Prandtl (1921) and extended his theory to take into account
The bearing capacity Eq. (12.6) developed by Terzaghi is for a strip footing under general shear failure. Eq. (12.6) has
The theoretical equations developed for computing the ultimate bearing capacity qu of soil are based on the assumption that the
Terzaghi (1943) developed Eq. (12.6) based on the assumption that the soil is incompressible. In order to take into account the
