SOIL TESTING REPORT

CALCULATION OF SBC AT RED HILLS

Cohesion, Angle of Internal


TP No. Unit wt, kN/m3
kN/m2 friction, Φ degrees
1 17.1 24 25

Unit wt. = 17.1 kN/m3

Cohesion = 24 kN /m2

Φ = 25 degrees

Assumed depth of foundation, D = 1.5 m

Assumed Width of foundation, B =1 m

Using IS Code 6403 -1981 formula:

Nc’= 20.7 Nq’ = 10.7 Nγ’ = 8.11

Net ult. B.C. = 1.3 c’ Nc’ + γD( Nq’-1) + 0.4 γBNγ’


= 950 kN/m2

With a FS of 3, SBC = 317 kN/m2

Recommended Safe Bearing capacity is 32t per sq m with sand bed.
