occurs is called the ultimate bearing capacity.

qu
Common in sand or clay with medium compaction
Significant settlement upon loading
Failure surface first develops right below the foundation and then
slowly extends outwards with load increments
Foundation movement shows sudden jerks first (at qu1) and then
after a considerable amount of movement the slip surface may
reach the ground.
A small amount of bulging may occur next to the foundation.

Punching Failure:

Setttlement
qu
Common in fairly loose sand or soft clay
Failure surface does not extends beyond the zone right beneath the
foundation
Extensive settlement with a wedge shaped soil zone in elastic
equilibrium beneath the foundation. Vertical shear occurs around the
edges of foundation.
After reaching failure load-settlement curve continues at some slope
and mostly linearly.

Foundation Analysis and Design: Dr. Amit Prashant
Notes:
1. Notice use of “effective”
base dimensions B‘, L‘ by
Hansen but not by Vesic.
2. The values are consistent
with a vertical load or a
vertical load accompanied by
a horizontal load HB.
3. With a vertical load and a
load HL (and either HB=0 or
HB>0) you may have to
compute two sets of shape
and depth factors si,B, si,L
and di,B, di,L. For i,L
subscripts use ratio L‘/B‘ or
D/L‘.
4. Compute qu independently
by using (siB, diB) and (siL,
diL) and use min value for
design.
18
6
Foundation Analysis and Design: Dr. Amit Prashant
Notes:
1. Use Hi as either HB or HL,
or both if HL>0.
2. Hansen (1970) did not give
an ic for φ>0. The value given
here is from Hansen (1961)
and also used by Vesic.
3. Variable ca = base
adhesion,, on the order of 0.6
to 1.0 x base cohesion.
4. Refer to sketch on next
slide for identification of
angles η and β , footing depth
D, location of Hi (parallel and
at top of base slab; usually
also produces eccentricity).
Especially notice V = force
normal to base and is not the
resultant R from combining V
and Hi..
19
Foundation Analysis and Design: Dr. Amit Prashant
20
Foundation Analysis and Design: Dr. Amit Prashant
Note:
1. When φ=0 (and β≠0) use
Nγ = -2sin(±β) in Nγ term.
2. Compute m = mB when
Hi = HB (H parallel to B) and
m = mL when Hi = HL (H
parallel to L). If you have
both HB and HL use
m = (mB2 + mL2)1/2. Note use
of B and L, not B’, L’.
3. Hi term ≤ 1.0 for
computing iq, iγ (always).

Soil Compressibility Effects on Bearing Capacity
Vesic’s (1973) Approach
„
„
Use of soil compressibility factors in general bearing capacity equation.
These correction factors are function of the rigidity of soil
Rigidity Index of Soil, Ir:
Ir =
Gs
′ tan φ ′
c′ + σ vo
Critical Rigidity Index of Soil, Icr:
I rc = 0.5.e
