Question

Transcribed Image Text:4) A strip footing is to be placed 2m below the surface of soil having a cohesion of
40kpa, unit weight of 18.2kn/cum and angle of friction of 10deg.
Nc=9.61 Nq=2.69 Ny=0.56
Nc'=8.02 Nq'=1.94 Ny'=0.24
a) Assuming local shear failure, compute the ultimate bearing capcity of footing
if width is 1.25m
b) Considering a rectangular footing of 1.25mx6m and a load factor of 2.5,
determine allowable bearing capacity under general shear failure
