Ques.5: calculate the net ultimate bearing capacity of rectangular footing 2 m x 4 m in plan, founded at a depth of 1.5 m below the ground surface. The load on the footing acts at an angle of 15 to the vertical and is eccentric in the direction of width by 15 cm. The saturated unit weight of soil is 18 kN/m. The rate of loading is slow and hence effective stress shear strength parameter can be used in the analysis c'= 15 kN/m and 25. Natural water table is at a depth of 2 m below the ground surface. Use IS: 6403-1981 recommendations. [GOPAL RANJAN]
