SITUATION: A rectangular footing, 3m4m in plan, is founded 1.2m below the ground surface for
which the bulk unit weight of the soil is 20kNm3, the cohesion strength is 10kPa and the angle
of internal friction is 20 degrees. Under the condition of general shear failure, evaluate the
contribution of the following to the ultimate bearing capacity, in kPa:
The ground water table is at a level that does not affect the unit weight of the soil. Use
Terzaghi's bearing capacity factors.
Cohesion strength
a.162.70kPa
b.216.70kPa
c.261.70kPa
d.116.70kPa
Soil overburden
a.178.56kPa
b.187.65kPa
C.215.46kPa
d.251.kPa
SITUATION: A rectangular footing, 3 m 4 m in
