Question:

In Problem 7.1, if there was no bedrock present for at least 4 m below the foundation, what would the ultimate bearing capacity be?


Problem 7.1

A 2.5 m wide rough continuous foundation is placed in the ground at 1 m depth. There is bedrock present at 1 m depth below the bottom of the foundation. The soil properties are c' = 10.0 kN/m2, ϕ' = 25°, and γ = 18.0 kN/m3. Determine the ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation.
