Question

Which of the following is NOT one of the factors that is typically used to modify the general bearing capacity equation? a. Depth Factor b. Shape Factor c. Inclination Factor d. Load Factor 86. 87. True or False: Pile and drilled-shaft foundations are considered to be shallow foundations. 88. Which of the following is NOT one of the primary contributors to the bearing capacity equation? a. Foundation Load b. Soil Cohesion c. Surcharge d. Soil Unit Weight which of the following represents the value of the bearing capacity factor Nc for a soil with ?, = 0? (Hint: use the formula sheet) a. 0.00 b. 1.00 C. 5.70 d. 27.09 89, 90. True or False: The lateral earth pressure coefficient is the ratio of the vertical in situ stress to the horizontal in situ stress.

Explanation / Answer

1)

d) Load factor is not a factor that is used in the Terzhagi's equation

2)

False - Pile and drilled shafts are classified as deep foundations.

3)

The foundation load is not a contributor to the bearing capacity equation

4)

From the tables, the value of Nc = 5.7 ( For pure clays)

5)

False. Its the ratio of horizontal pressure to vertical pressure.
