Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7.1QPP
List the three types of bearing capacity failures and explain the differences between them.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The list of three types of bearing capacity failures and differences between them.
Explanation of Solution
Three types of bearing capacity failures are:
- General shear failure.
- Local shear failure.
- Punching shear failure.
The differences between them are explained in tabular form below:
Serial Number | General shear failure | Local shear failure | Punching shear failure |
1. | The continuous, well-defined failure surface | Not well-defined failure surface, | Failure surface is not well defined, no bulging of ground surface adjacent to the foundation |
2. | Sudden failure as shown in the load settlement curve. | Not a sudden failure. | Not a sudden failure, failure occurs gradually as depicted in the load-settlement curve. |
3. | Dense and stiff clay, incompressible soil | Relatively loose and soft soil | Lose and soft soil, highly compressible soil |
4. | Considerable settlement | Lage settlement occurs | |
5. | Bulging of failure surfaces at ground occurs | Slight bulging of soil around footing is observed | Shearing in vertical direction around the edge of the footing |
3. | Tilting of footing occurs | No tilting | No tilting |
7. | Relative density | Relative density | Relative density |
