Civil Engineering

Find the ultimate bearing capacity using Terzaghi forthe given foundation located at 4.8m below ground. Water table at2.2m below ground.

Soil A has H= 1.8m ɣ=15KN/m3, C=35KN/m2, ɸ= 25, and e= 0.42.

Soil B has H= 3.0m ɣ=16KN/m3, C=45KN/m2, ɸ= 35, and e= 0.49.

Before the foundation was laid compaction was done onboth soils where results were

Soil A has ɣmax=18KN/m3, optimumwater content 11% and e=0.26.

Soil B has ɣmax=20KN/m3, optimumwater content 13% and e=0.29.

The foundation is 2.8x2.8m and its loosest void ratiofor both soils are 0.90 and 0.82, respectively
