2. A large scale bearing capacity test on a footing of size 1.5 m x 1.5 m founded at a depth of 1.5 m in a soft saturated clay layer yielded an ultimate value of 240 kN. The unconfined compression test of an undisturbed sample from the field yielded a strength of 30 kN/m². The unit weight of the soil is 16 kN/m³. Assuming local shear failure, how much does the test value differ from that calculated using a. Terzaghi's bearing capacity equation? b. IS code bearing capacity equation?

Test for Determination of Shear Strength

The term shear strength is often associated with the soil. Shear strength is defined as the resistance to the deformation of soil particles due to the continuous action of shear stress. In short, shear strength is the maximum shear stress that a soil can sustain.
