Question

12.Increasing the depth of foundation in saturated clays results in an increased ultimate bearing
capacity for strip footings
I
(a) because the bearing capacity factor, N, decreases
(b) because the bearing capacity factor, Nc increases as the depth increases
(c) the term in the bearing capacity equation, q Na, increases with depth
(d) because the angle of internal friction decreases as the depth of foundation increases.​

Answer 1

Answer:

(c) the term in the bearing capacity equation,q Na, increases with depth
