10 Ultimate Bearing Capacity

INSTRUCTION: Select the correct answer for Situation 2

each of the following questions. Mark only one A wall footing is to be constructed on a
answer for each item by shading the box clay soil 1.4 m below the ground. The
corresponding to the letter of your choice on footing is to support a wall that imposes
the answer sheet provided. STRICTLY NO a load of 130 kN per meter of wall length.
ERASURES ALLOWED. Considering general shear failure,
determine the following:
Situation 1
A square footing shown has a dimension
of 1.5 m x 1.5 m and has its bottom 2 m
below the ground surface. The
groundwater table is located at a depth
of 3 m below the ground surface.
Assume a general shear failure.
Determine the following:

6. Footing width if FS = 3.
A. 3.024 m C. 1.008 m
B. 0.112 m D. 0.336 m

7. Ultimate bearing capacity if B = 0.95 m.

A. 933.95 kPa C. 425.75 kPa
B. 1277.26 kPa D. 415.09 kPa 8. New factor of safety.
A. 3.082 C. 8.783
2. Allowable bearing capacity if it has a B. 9.732 D. 9.245
factor of safety of 3.
A. 933.95 kPa C. 957.95 kPa 9. A concentrated load of 1800 kN is
B. 1277.26 kPa D. 425.75 kPa applied to the ground surface.
Determine the vertical stress increment
3. Allowable load that the footing could due to this load at a depth of 5 m below
carry. the load and at a horizontal distance of 4
A. 933.95 kN C. 957.95 kN m from the concentrated load.
B. 1277.26 kN D. 415.09 kN A. 7.24 kPa C. 6.15 kPa
B. 9.98 kPa D. 5.51 kPa
4. Allowable net bearing capacity if FS = 3.
A. 933.95 kPa C. 957.95 kPa 10. In the previous question, the
B. 1277.26 kPa D. 415.09 kPa concentrated load is replaced by a 130
kN/m uniform load. What is the new
5. Allowable net load if FS = 3. vertical stress increment?
A. 933.95 kN C. 957.95 kN A. 7.24 kPa C. 6.15 kPa
B. 1277.26 kN D. 415.09 kN B. 9.98 kPa D. 5.51 kPa
