Question

According to Terzaghi which one of the following equation is appropriate to calculate the bearing capacity of a square footing?

Answer 1

Answer:

In geotechnical engineering, bearing capacity is the capacity of soil to support the loads applied to the ground. The bearing capacity of soil is the maximum average contact pressure between the foundation and the soil which should not produce shear failure in the soil. Ultimate bearing capacity is the theoretical maximum pressure which can be support.
