Civil Engineering

1: A square footing is to be constructed asshown in the Figure at a founding depth of 2 m. Using theTerzaghi equation compute the ultimate surface capacity,[ (qult)Surf ],possible for the layered soil profile shown. Keeping in mind thatTerzaghi’s semi-empirical bearing capacityequation can only be applied to a soil layer with a thicknessgreater than or equal to the applied stress contact-area-breadth(either virtual or real breadth). In such a case, second layercannot be assessed by the nominal equation ofTerzaghi. An acceptable approach is to merge thesecond and third layers into a single layer with equivalentconservative properties.
