    The document provides calculations to determine the allowable bearing capacity of a square footing using the Terzaghi equation. It gives the soil parameters including a depth of 1.2m, density of 17.3 kN/m3, internal friction angle of 25 degrees, and no cohesion. It then calculates the bearing capacity factors and ultimate bearing capacity of 347.5 kPa. With a safety factor of 3, the allowable bearing capacity is determined to be 115.8 kPa.

    Compute the allowable bearing pressure using Terzaghi equation for the footing and soil parameters shown in
    Figure 1.

    D = 1.20 m footing embedment depth


    g = 17.3 kN/m³ soil density
    Ø = 25 deg angle of internal friction
    c = 0 kPa cohesion of soil
    B = 1.2 m footing size D

    Footing Type: square

    B
    Figure 1

    1.0 Find the bearing capacity. Note that this value is usually the result of geotechnical investigation.

    Since:
    Ø = 25 deg
    Therefore from Table 4-2: From Table 4-1
    Nc = 25.1 sc = 1.3
    Nq = 12.7 sγ = 0.8
    Nγ = 9.7

    q = 20.76 =D*g

    qult = ( 266.9 + 67.12 B ) kPa


    qult = 347.5 kPa
    q
    qa = ult
    SF
    Eq. 4-1

    SF = 3 Factor of Safety

    qa = 115.8 kPa allowable bearing capacity
