(Solved): For the footing given below, calculate the ultimate bearing capacity (qu or qf) using General ...
For the footing given below, calculate the ultimate bearing capacity (qu or qf) 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 4m 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 ywater =10kN/m3 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.

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
