8.Define Bearing capacity, Ultimate bearing capacity and Safe bearing capacity?
Bearing capacity: It is defined as the maximum load per unit area which the soil will resist safely
without displacement.
Ultimate bearing capacity: It is the gross pressure intensity at the base of the foundation at which
the soil fails in shear.
Safe bearing capacity: It is the maximum pressure which the soil can carry safely without
risk of shear failure
9.How to improve the bearing capacity of soil?
i) By increasing depth of foundation ii) By cement grating
iii) By draining the subsoil water
1. Earth Dams
2 Rock fill dams.
