engineering recuitment APSC AE Civil 2020 Test Series Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Bearing Capacity Shallow Foundation
A purely cohesive soil was tested by unconfined compression test. The mean unconfined compression strength was obtained as 50 kN/ sq.m. The net ultimate bearing capacity of the soil adopting terzaghi's concept will be (adopt bearing capacity factor = 5.7, 1 kg approximately equal to 10 N).
1
90 kN/sq.m
2
120 kN/ sq.m
3
142.50 kN/sq.m
4
162.50 kN/ sq.m
