1 oundation Analysis

2 oundations with D f eual to 3 to 4 times the width may be defined as shallow foundations. TWO MAI CHARACTERISTICS o Safe against overall shear failure o Cannot undergo excessive displacement, or settlement ULTIMATE EARIG CAPACITY o the load per unit area of the foundation at which shear failure in soil occurs

3 GEERAL SHEAR AILURE Long rectangular model footing of width at the surface of a dense sand The triangular wedge-shaped zone of soil marked I is pushed down and in turn presses the zones marked II and III sideways. The soil on the both sides of the foundation will bulge out and the slip surface will extend to the ground surface.

4 LOCAL SHEAR AILURE Medium dense sand or clayey soil of medium compaction Movement of the foundation will be accompanied by sudden jerks The triangular wedge-shaped zone of soil marked I is pushed down but unlike in general shear failure, the slip surface end somewhere inside the soil.

5 PUCHIG SHEAR AILURE airly loose soil Soil will not extend to the ground surface

6 GEERAL SHEAR AILURE Applies to dense granular soil and to firmer saturated cohesive soils subject to undrained loading (the UU and CU shearing conditions apply) PUCHIG SHEAR AILURE Applies to compressible soils, such as sands having lowto-medium relative density, and for cohesive soils subject to slow loading (the CD shearing condition apply)

7 Vesic, 963 Laboratory plate loadbearing tests on circular and rectangular plates supported by a sand at various relative densities of compaction, D r. D r about 70% (general shear failure)

8 Vesic, 973 Relationship for the mode of bearing capacity failure of foundations resting on sands.

9 Vesic, 973 D r, relative density of sand D f, depth of foundation measured from the ground surface = L + L where,, width of foundation L, length of foundation

10 General range of S/ with the relative density of compaction of sand. General Shear ailure ultimate load may occur at settlements of 4 to 0% of. Local Shear or Punching Shear ailure ultimate load may occur at settlements of 5 to 5% of.

11 earing capacity failure in soil under a rough rigid continuous (strip) foundation. The triangular zone ACD immediately under the foundation. The radial shear zones AD and CDE, with the curves DE and D being arcs of a logarithmic spiral 3. Two triangular Rankine passive zones AH and CEG

12 Continuous or Strip oundation where, u = c C + + γ γ c is the cohesion is the unit weight of soil is the euivalent surcharge load eual to γd f C,, γ are bearing capacity factors that are nondimensional and are functions only of the soil friction angle ɸ.

13 where, K pγ is the passive pressure coefficient Modified for: Suare oundation u =.3c C γ γ Circular oundation u =.3c C γ γ

14

15 LOCAL SHEAR AILURE Strip oundation u = 3 c C + + γ γ Suare oundation u = 0.867c C γ γ Circular oundation u = 0.867c C γ γ ɸ = tan ( 3 tan ɸ )

16

17 all = u S et stress increase on soil = net ultimate bearing capacity S net(u) = u where, net(u) is the net ultimate bearing capacity = γd f So, all(net) = u S The factor of safety should be at least 3 in all cases.

18 . A suare foundation is m x m in plan. The soil supporting the foundation has a friction angle of ɸ = 5 and c = 0 k/m. The unit weight of soil, γ, is 6.5 k/m 3. Determine the allowable gross load on the foundation with a factor of safety (S) of 3. Assume that the depth of the foundation (D f ) is.5 m and that general shear failure occurs in the soil. Solution u =.3c C γ γ rom Table 3., for ɸ = 5, C = 5.3 =.7 γ = 8.34 Thus, u =.3 0 (5.3) + (.5x6.5)(.7) + 0.4(6.5)()(8.34) = k/m

19 So, the allowable load per unit area of the foundation is all = u S = Thus, the total allowable gross load is = k/m Q = all ( ) = 359.5(x) = 438 k

25 SHAPE: The bearing capacity ens do not address the case of rectangular foundations (0 < /L < ). Wherein L >. DEPTH: The ens also do not take into account the shearing resistance along the failure surface in soil above the bottom of the foundation. LOAD ICLIATIO: The load on the foundation may be inclined.
