INTRODUCTION
• Bearing capacity is the capacity of soil to support the loads that are applied to
the group above it depends primarily on the type of soil, it’s shear strength
and it’s density it also depend on the depth of embedment of load the deeper
it is founded, the greater the bearing capacity.
1. Bearing capacity types:
• Ultimate bearing capacity
• Net ultimate bearing capacity
• Net safe bearing capacity
• Gross safe bearing
• Net safe settlement pressure
• Net allowable bearing capacity
TYPICAL SOIL BEARING C APACITY
VALUES
• Type of soil soil bearing capacity in KN/m²
1. Very soft clay 50
2. Soft with pressure 100
3. Black cotton soil 130-160
4. Moist and sand clay 150
5. Medium clay 245
6. Stiff clay in deep 440
• The capacity of the soil to allow the
Loads coming from the foundation is called
Bearing capacity of soil.
• The ultimate bearing capacity is divided by certain
factor of safety and the resultant is called safe bearing
capacity of the soil.
• A good soil bearing capacity is one which allows for the
Structures to be built upon it without failure due to shear or
Settlement and usually with a 50% or greater than safety factor.
FOOTING
• A shear wall is a genaral term for a wall that is designed and constructed to resist
racking from forces such as wind using masonry, concrete,cold formed steel ,or
wood framing shear walls significantly reduce the sway of a structure to reduce
damange of a structure and it’s contents.
• Shear walls are used for protect a home or a building from becoming warped or
distorted when attacked by horizontal forces during an intense wind hurricane or
seismic event.
• The advantage of Shear wall is to increase the stability example reinforced
concrete wall or vertical truss
• The alternative name of shear wall is RC wall.
• It has only limited space in some structure
• This are classified into short , squat, or cantilever
