Data Given:
Field moisture content (ω) = 11.000 % Assumed in hard rock/ stray boulder level
Bulk density of soil (gbulk) = 1.928 gm/cc
Specific gravity of soil (G) = 2.670

Ground surface level = R.L. 94.013

Maximum scour level = R.L. 93.000
Founding level = R.L. 87.400
Width of foundation (B) = 9.45 m
Length of foundation (L) = 8.5
Diameter of circular foundation (D) = 0 m
Unit weight of water (gw) = 1 gm/cc

Cohesion © = kg/cm 2

Depth of overburden (Df) = 93 - 87.400 = 5.600 m

Dry density of soil (gd) = gbulk /(1+ω/100) = 1.737 gm/cc
Void Ratio = e = G/ g d -1 = 0.54 0.55
Hence General Shear Failure
Submerged unit weight (gb) = (G X gw + e) / (1 + e) - 1 = 1.086 gm/cc
Overburden pressure(q)=gb X Df X 100/1000 = 1.086 X 5.600 X100/1000

N= 50

Correction due to overburden(N') :

From figure-1 of I:S: 2131-1981,
For q 0.608 kg/cm 2, correction factor = 1
So, correction due to overburden (N') = 50 X 1 = 50

Correction due to dilatancy(N") :

N" = 15+1/2*(N'-15)
= 15 + 1/2 * ( 50 - 15 ) = 32.5
From figure-1 of I:S: 6403-1981,
For N" 32.5 , f = 32 deg

For general shear failure:
