Bearing capacities of rocks are often determined by crushing a core sample in a testing machine. Samples used for testing
A strip footing of width 3 m is founded at a depth of 2 m below the ground surface in
If the soil in Ex. 1 fails by local shear failure, determine the net safe bearing pressure. All the other data
If the water table in Ex. 1 rises to the ground level, determine the net safe bearing pressure of the footing.
If the water table in Ex. 1 occupies any of the positions (a) 1.25 m below ground level or (b) 1.25 m
A square footing fails by general shear in a cohesionless soil under an ultimate load of Qult – 1687.5 kips. The
