    stone
    This document provides examples on calculating the bearing capacity of shallow foundations in sand and clay soils. In Example 1, it determines the ultimate bearing capacity of a square footing at different water table levels. Example 2 calculates the required breadth of a strip footing to support a given load. Example 3 finds the ultimate, net ultimate, net allowable bearing capacity and required area of a square footing. Example 4 solves for the diameter of a circular footing to support a column load. It also compares the factor of safety if the area is flooded. The document concludes with exercises reviewing bearing capacity calculation examples from a textbook.

    EXAMPLES ON SHALLOW

    FOUNDATION DESIGN
    BY: NOORFAIZAH HAMZAH
    Example 1
    A square footing of 4.2 m width is founded at
    depth of 2 m in sand with =32 & sat = 20
    kN/m3

    Determine the ultimate bearing capacity if :


    (a) The water table is way below the base
    (b) The water table is at the base
    (c) The water table is at ground surface

    NFH
    Example 2
    A strip footing at a depth of 0.9m is required to
    transmit an inclusive load of 650 kN/m to a
    compact sand having c’ = 0, ’ = 38˚ and sat =
    20.4kN/m3

    Assume that the water table may arise to the


    surface and adopting a factor of safety of 3.0,
    determine the breadth of footing required

    EXAMPLE 4

    Determine the dimension of a circular footing required to carry a


    column load of 1.4 MN at a depth of 1.2 m in cohesive frictional
    soil having the following properties:

    c' = 35 kN/m2 ' = 28º

    dry = 17 kN/m3 sat = 19 kN/m3

    Consider the water table is well below the footing and take the
    factor of safety against shear failure as 2. 5.

    Use Terzaghi's formula and the appropriate bearing capacity


    coefficients Nc, Nq, and N as 31.6, 17.8 and 14.6 respectively.
