Subject: Soil Mechanics
A circular footing with a 1.5 m diameter is to be
constructed 1.22 m
below the ground surface. The subsoil consists of
a uniform deposit
of dense soil having the following strength
parameters:
Angle of Friction = 250 Nc = 24.1 Nq = 13.1 Ny = 9.1
Cohesion = 48 kN/m2
Unit weight of soil = 20.12 kN/m2
The groundwater table is at a great depth and its
effect can be
ignored.
Determine the following:
a) Ultimate bearing Capacity of the soil
Ex1: A footing is uniformly loaded with q = 100 kN/m² as shown in the figure.
Compute the vertical stress increments under Points A, B, and C at z = 10 m.
