engineering recuitment FCI JE 2022 Mock Test for CE/ME/EE (Phase I & II) Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Bearing Capacity
A strip footing is 1 m wide at its base. It is located at a depth of 0.8 m below the ground level. Consider unit weight of soil = 18 kN/m3, cohesion = 30 kN/m2 and the angle of friction = 20°, Calculate the safe bearing capacity of soil using terzaghi’s analysis. (Take Nq = 3.9. Nc = 11.8, Nγ = 1.7, factory of safety = 2.5.)
