friction is 10 degrees. 1. Assuming a local shear failure, which of the following most nearly gives the net ultimate bearing capacity per meter for a strip footing having a width of 1.25 m? Use the equation of Terzaghi’s ultimate bearing capacity for strip footing. a. 314 kPa b. 380 KPa c. 256 kPa
A footing is supported by soil having a cohesion of 50 kPa. The unit weight of soil is 19 kN/m^3 and the depth of footing is 3 m below the ground surface. The angle of internal friction is 10 degrees.
