1 Bearing Capacity Theory Bearing Capacity 1
2 Bearing Capacity Failure a) General Shear Failure Most common type of shear failure; occurs in strong soils and rocks b) Local Shear Failure Intermediate between general and punching shear failure c) Punching Shear Failure Occurs in very loose sands weak clays 2
3 Bearing Capacity Failure General shear failure Local shear failure Punching shear failure 3
4 Soil Conditions and Bearing Capacity Failure 4
5 Load Displacement Curves (after Vesicʼ (1973)) a) General Shear Failure b) Local Shear Failure c) Punching Shear Failure 5
6 Comments on Shear Failure Usually only necessary to analyze general shear failure. Local and punching shear failure can usually be anticipated by settlement analysis. Failure in shallow foundations is generally settlement failure; bearing capacity failure must be analyzed, but in practical terms is usually secondary to settlement analysis. 6
7 Development of Bearing Capacity Theory Application of limit equilibrium methods first done by Prandtl on the punching of thick masses of metal. Prandtl's methods adapted by Terzaghi to bearing capacity failure of shallow foundations. Vesicʼ and others improved on Terzaghi's original theory and added other factors for a more complete analysis 7
8 Assumptions for Terzaghi's Method Depth of foundation is less than or equal to its width No sliding occurs between foundation and soil (rough foundation) Soil beneath foundation is homogeneous semi infinite mass Mohr-Coulomb model for soil General shear failure mode is the governing mode (but not the only mode) 8
9 Assumptions for Terzaghi's Method No soil consolidation occurs Foundation is very rigid relative to the soil Soil above bottom of foundation has no shear strength; is only a surcharge load against the overturning load Applied load is compressive and applied vertically to the centroid of the foundation No applied moments present 9
10 Failure Geometry for Terzaghi's Method 10
11 Notes on Terzaghi's Method Since soil cohesion can be difficult to quantify, conservative values of c (cohesion) should be used. Frictional strength is more reliable and does not need to be as conservative as cohesion. Terzaghi's method is simple and familiar to many geotechnical engineers; however, it does not take into account many factors, nor does it consider cases such as rectangular foundations. 11

15 Other Factors 15
16 Other Factors For continuous footing, s = 1 For perpendicular load, i = 1 For level foundation, b =1 For level ground, g =1 Need to compute factors - Bearing Capacity Factor N, - Depth Factor d 16
17 Groundwater Effects 17
18 Groundwater Effects Shallow groundwater affects shear strength in two ways: Reduces apparent cohesion that takes place when soils are not saturated; may necessitate reducing the cohesion measured in the laboratory Pore water pressure increases; reduces both effective stress and shear strength in the soil (same problem as is experienced with unsupported slopes) 18
19 Groundwater Effects 19
20 FOOTINGS WITH ECCENTRIC OR INCLINED LOADINGS Eccentricity Inclination 20
21 FOOTINGS WITH One Way Eccentricity In most instances, foundations are subjected to moments in addition to the vertical load as shown below. In such cases the distribution of pressure by the foundation upon the soil is not uniform. 21
22 22
23 23
24 FOOTINGS WITH One Way Eccentricity Note that in these equations, when the eccentricity e becomes B/6, qmin is zero. For e > B/6, qmin will be negative, which means that tension will develop. Because soils can sustain very little tension, there will be a separation between the footing and the soil under it. Also note that the eccentricity tends to decrease the load bearing capacity of a foundation. In such cases, placing foundation column off-center, as shown in Figure is probably advantageous. Doing so in effect, produces a centrally loaded foundation with a uniformly distributed pressure. 24
25 FOOTINGS WITH One Way Eccentricity 25
26 Footing with Two-way Eccentricities Consider a footing subject to a vertical ultimate load Qult and a moment M as shown in Figures a and b. For this case, the components of the moment M about the x and y axis are Mx and My respectively. This condition is equivalent to a load Q placed eccentrically on the footing with x = eb and y = el as shown in Figure d. 26

33 Footings with Inclined Loads 1. Compute the inclination factors using the equations given below: β inclination of load with respect to vertical 2. Use the inclination factors just computed to compute Hansen shape factors as 33
34 Footings with Inclined Loads 3. These are used in the following modifications of the "edited Hansen bearing capacity equation: Use the smaller value of qu\t computed by either of Equations. 34
35 The Bearing Capacity of Multi-Layered Soils 35
36 The Bearing Capacity of Layered Soils 36
37 The Bearing Capacity of Layered Soils In layered soil profiles, the unit weight of the soil, the angle of friction and the cohesion are not constant throughout the depth. The ultimate surface failure may extend through two or more of the soil layers. Consider the case when the stronger soil is underlain by a weaker soil. If H, the thickness of the layer of soil below the footing, is relatively large then the failure surface will be completely located in the top soil layer, which is the upper limit for the ultimate bearing capacity. If the thickness H is small compared to the foundation width B, a punching shear failure will occur at the top soil stratum, followed by a general shear failure in the bottom soil layer. If H is relatively deep, then the shear failure will occur only on the top soil layer. 37

59 Correction of Standard penetration number It has been suggested that the SPT be standardized to some energy ratio Er which should be computed as Note that larger values of Er decrease the blow count N nearly linearly, that is, Er45 gives N = 20 and Er90 gives N = 10; Example of N for Er45 = 20 we obtain for the arbitrarily chosen Er = 70, (Er70): N for Er70 = 13 59
