The type of footing in which two isolated footings are connected together by means of a rigid beam is known as

The footing which is usually provided when the column are so closely spaced such that their individual footing will overlap is known as

Which of the pairs are correctly matched?

P: Net safe bearing capacity =

Q: Net ultimate bearing capacity =

R: Ultimate bearing capacity =

Determine the net safe bearing capacity of a soil if the ultimate bearing capacity is 1045 .45 kN/m² using a factor of safety of 3 if the overburden pressure on the soil is 45 .28 kN/m².

For a number of columns constructed in a row, the type of foundation provided is

What will be the ultimate bearing capacity (assuming general shear failure) of a strip footing 1.65 m wide resting on a cohesionless soil (ϕ = 32˚, γ = 17.65 kN/m³). Take N_c = 45.4, N_q = 48.7 and N_γ = 28.8.

Find the ultimate bearing capacity of a continuous footing having width 1.45 m and depth 1.2 m in a soil (c = 26 kN/m², ϕ = 38˚, γ = 19.25 kN/m³) as per Terzaghi’s theory. Use N_c = 81.7, N_q = 65.4 and N_γ = 75 .45

A rectangular footing of size 2 m x 3 m carries a column loan of 600 kN at a depth of 1 m. The footing is resting on a C-Φ soil. The Poisson’s ratio is 0.5 and Young’s modulus of elasticity is 20000 kN/m². If influence factor is 1 then the immediate settlement of footing is

According to Skempton’s formula for a surface footing of square shape, the ultimate bearing capacity on a purely cohesive soil of cohesion 40 kN/m² is
