Now, if a rigid rough base is located at a depth of H <D below the bottom of the
foundation, full development of the failure surface in soil will be restricted. In
such a case, the soil failure zone and the development of slip lines at ultimate
load will be as shown in Figure 6.7. Mandel and Salencon (1972) determined
the bearing capacity factors applicable to this case by numerical integration,
using the theory of plasticity. According to their theory, the ultimate bearing
capacity of a rough continuous foundation with a rigid rough base located at a
shallow depth can be given by the relation

Note that for H > D, N₁ = N₁, N₁ = N₁, and N₁ = N₁ (Lundgren and
Mortensen, 1953). The variations of Nº, Nº, and N with H/B and the soil
friction angle ø' are given in Figures 6.8, 6.9, and 6.10, respectively.
It can be seen from Figures 6.8, 6.9 and 6.10 that when the depth to the rigid
base H decreases, the bearing capacity factors and hence the ultimate bearing
capacity of the foundation increase. It can also be seen that when H>B,
especially for lower friction angles, one can conservatively ignore the presence
of the rigid base and use the general bearing capacity factors Ne, Ng, and Ny
(Table 5.3).
