Find the ultimate bearing capacity using Terzaghi for the given foundation located at 4.8m below ground. Water table at 2.2m below ground.

Soil A has H= 1.8m ɣ=15KN/m3, C=35 KN/m2, ɸ= 25, and e= 0.42.

Soil B has H= 3.0m ɣ=16KN/m3, C=45 KN/m2, ɸ= 35, and e= 0.49.

Before the foundation was laid compaction was done on both soils where results were

Soil A has ɣmax=18KN/m3, optimum water content 11% and e=0.26.

Soil B has ɣmax=20KN/m3, optimum water content 13% and e=0.29.

The foundation is 2.8x2.8m and its loosest void ratio for both soils are 0.90 and 0.82, respectively

The design of shallow foundation is governed by the bearing capacity of soil. The bearing capacity of soil is the maximum average contact pressure between the foundation and the soil which should not produce shear failure in the soil. However, some cases at site, the suitable bearing capacity only can be found at 3 m depth from the surface or more. Based on your understanding, discuss this situation and how to resolve the issue in perspective as a consultant engineer

The bearing capacity, ?, of soil under a square foundation of size 9 ft^2 is determined to be a random variable with a mean of 3 ksf and a standard deviation of 0.3 ksf. The applied axial load, ?, acting on the foundation is also a random variable with a mean of 16 kip and a standard deviation of 2 kip. Assume ? and ? are statistically independent normal variables. Using the limit state function of the form ?() =...

1. Bearing capacity of strip foundation is independent of water table location (True/False) 2. Density of sand significantly affects the bearing capacity factor Nq (True/False) 3. The bearing capacity of square footing (Length x Width = 39 x 39 m) is higher than strip footing (Width 39 m) under similar conditions (True/False) 4. Bending moment of 39 kNm increases the ultimate bearing capacity of strip footing having a width of 39 m (True/False) 5. Shape factors for square footing with...
