- How to determine whether a foundation should be analysed on the basis of the conventional rigid procedure or as a beam on an elastic foundation ?arrow_forwardDesign studies for a planned building indicate that the foundation loading will cause the principal stresses in the soil at one point below the building area to increase to 195 kPa and 70 kPa (major and minor principal stress values, respectively). If the soil is a dry sand having an angle of internal friction equal to 34°, determine if the indicated stresses would cause shear failure to occur.arrow_forwardPlease answer this question: * Why we usually use undrained shear strength instead of effective cohesion and effective friction angle to determine the factor of safety for bearing capacity when designing mat foundation?arrow_forward
