(Solved): For the footing given below, calculate the ultimate bearing capacity (qu or qf) using General ...



student submitted image, transcription available below
For the footing given below, calculate the ultimate bearing capacity or using General Bearing Capacity Equation. General shear failure occurs in the soil and the relevant information are given below. The ground water is at a depth of below ground surface. It has been observed that resultant load acting on the footing is vertical. However, resultant load creates an eccentricity (only one-way eccentricity), therefore, a moment. The eccentricity is e = 0.5 meters. Take Note 1: Use 3 digits for the factor calculations. Note 2: You can find necessary charts and formulas on the help page previously provided before the exam. Do not send your hand calculations. Lütfen birini seçin: a. b. c. d. e.

According to Terzaghi equation, ultimate bearing capacity can be given as,

Qu = 1.3 c Nc +   

where, Nc , Nq and Nr are Terzaghi bearing capacity factors

B = width of footing = 6 m
