3. Bearing Capacity of Foundation
The soil must be capable of carrying the loads from
any engineered structure placed upon it without a
shear failure and with the resulting settlements
being tolerable for that structure.
This lecture will be concerned with evaluation of
the limiting shear resistance, or ultimate bearing
capacity of the soil under a foundation load.
3Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST
4. It is necessary to investigate both base shear
resistance and settlements for any structure.
Bearing Capacity of Foundation
In many cases settlement criteria will control
the allowable bearing capacity; however, there
are also a number of cases where base shear (in
which a base punches into the ground - usually
with a simultaneous rotation) dictates the
recommended bearing capacity.
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 4
5. Bearing Capacity of Foundation
Structures such as liquid storage tanks and mats are
often founded on soft soils, which are usually more
susceptible to base shear failure than to settlement.
Base shear control, to avoid a combination base
punching with rotation into the soil, is often of more
concern than settlement for these foundation types.
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 5
6. Allowable Bearing Capacity
The recommendation for the allowable bearing
capacity to be used for design is based on the
minimum of either :
1. Limiting the settlement to a tolerable amount
2. The ultimate bearing capacity, which considers soil
strength, as computed in the following sections
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 6
7. Allowable Bearing Capacity
The allowable bearing capacity based on shear
control is obtained by reducing (or dividing)
the ultimate bearing capacity (based on soil
strength) by a safety factor SF that is deemed
adequate to avoid a base shear failure to obtain
=
.
(2-1)
The safety factor is based on the type of soil (cohesive or cohesionless),
reliability of the soil parameters, structural information (importance,
use, etc.), and consultant caution.
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 7
8. Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST
Allowable Bearing Capacity
Most building codes provide an allowable
settlement limit for a foundation, which
may be well below the settlement derived
corresponding to given by equations( 2-1).
Thus, the bearing capacity corresponding to the
allowable settlement must also be taken into
consideration.

Terzaghi’s Bearing Capacity Theory
Terzaghi (1943) was the first to present a comprehensive
theory for the evaluation of the ultimate bearing capacity
of rough shallow foundations. According to this theory, a
foundation is shallow if its depth, Df (Figure slid 11), is
less than or equal to its width. Later investigators,
however, have suggested that foundations with Df equal
to 3 to 4 times their width may be defined as shallow
foundations.

Terzaghi’s Bearing Capacity Theory
The effect of soil above the bottom of the foundation may also
be assumed to be replaced by an equivalent surcharge,
(where is the unit weight of soil).
= ∗
Terzaghi suggested that for a continuous, or strip, foundation
(i.e., one whose width-to-length ratio approaches zero), the
failure surface in soil at ultimate load may be assumed to be
similar to that shown in Figure on Slide 11.
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 10
11. The failure zone under the foundation can be
separated into three parts (see Figure 4.6):
1. The triangular zone ACD immediately under
the foundation
2. The radial shear zones ADF and CDE, with the
curves DE and DF being arcs of a logarithmic
spiral
3. Two triangular Rankine passive zones AFH
and CEG

The angles CAD and ACD are assumed to be equal to the
soil friction angle .
Note that, with the replacement of the soil above the bottom
of the foundation by an equivalent surcharge q, the shear
resistance of the soil along the failure surfaces GI and HJ
was neglected.

Meyerhof ’s Bearing Capacity Equation
In 1951, Meyerhof published a bearing capacity theory
that could be applied to rough, shallow, and deep
foundations. The failure surface at ultimate load under a
continuous shallow foundation assumed by Meyerhof is
shown in Figure below.
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 19
21. BEARING-CAPACITY EQUATIONS
Meyerhof ’s Bearing Capacity Equation
In this figure abc is the elastic triangular, bcd is the
radial shear zone with cd being an arc of a log spiral,
and bde is a mixed shear zone in which the shear varies
between the limits of radial and plane shears depending
on the depth and roughness of the foundation.
The plane be is called an equivalent free surface.

35. The equation for ultimate bearing capacity by Terzaghi
has been developed based on assumption that water table
is located at a great depth .
If the water table is located close to foundation ; the
equation needs modification.
The effective unit weight of the soil is used in the
bearing-capacity equations for computing the ultimate
capacity.

Effect of Water Table on Bearing Capacity
The water table is seldom above the base of the footing,
as this would, at the very least, cause construction
problems. If it is, however, the q term requires
adjusting so that the surcharge pressure is an effective
value and an effective unit weight must be used in the
0.5 ϒB Nϒ term.

Effect of Soil Compressibility

account for which Vesic (1973) proposed the following

The soil compressibility factors were derived by Vesic
(1973) by analogy to the expansion of cavities.
According to that theory, in order to calculate
,the following steps should be taken:

Bearing Capacity from SPT
The SPT is widely used to obtain the bearing capacity of
soils directly.
Considering the accumulation of field observations and the
stated opinions of the authors and others, this author adjusted
the Meyerhof equations for an approximate 50 percent
increase in allowable bearing capacity to obtain the following:

For mats on clay, the factor of safety should not be less
