MODULE 6 (HYDRO-GEO)

PROBLEM NO. 1 (Topic: Footing; Bearing Capacity of Soil)


A footing 1 m square carries a total load, including its own weight, of
59,130 kg. The base of the footing is a depth of 1 m below the ground
surface. The soil strata at the site consist of a layer of stiff saturated clay
27.5 m thick overlying dense sand. The average density of the clay is 1,846
kg/m3. Use Terzaghis ultimate bearing capacity equation. The footing is
subjected to general shear failure.
a.) Determine the gross foundation pressure.
b.) Determine the overburden pressure.
c.) Determine the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil.
d.) Assuming local shear failure, determine the ultimate bearing capacity
of the soil.
Ans: a.) 580 kN/m2; b.) 18.11 kN/m2; c.) 1,242 kN/m2; d.) 426.26 kPa

PROBLEM NO. 2 (Topic: Footing; Bearing Capacity of Soil)


A footing 6 m square carries a total load, including its own weight, of
10,000 kN. The base of the footing is at a depth of 3 m below the ground
surface. The soil strata at the site consist of a layer of stiff saturated clay
27.5 m thick overlying dense sand. The average bulk density of the clay is
1,920 kg/m3 and its average shear strength determined from undrained
triaxial is 130 kN/m2 and =0.
a.) Determine the gross foundation pressure in kPa.
b.) Determine the net foundation pressure.
c.) Calculate the factor of safety of the foundation against complete shear
failure under the undrained condition (both gross and net). Side

clay (L3=4m, cu3=95 kPa). Assume Nc=9 and use =1 for soft and medium

mode.
