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

General Bearing Capacity Equation
is modified to (Vesic, 1973)
where Fcc, Fqc and FΞ³c are compressibility factors
The soil compressibility factors were derived by Vesic
(1973) by analogy to the expansion of cavities. According
to that theory, in order to calculate Fcc, Fqc and FΞ³c, the
following steps should be taken:

Effective Area Method (Meyerhoff, 1953)
The following is a step-by-step procedure for determining the
ultimate load that the soil can support and the factor of safety against bearing capacity failure:
Step 1: Determine the effective dimensions of the foundation.
Bβ = effective width = B β 2e
Lβ = effective length = L
Step 2: Use the general bearing capacity equation.
To evaluate the shape factors, use the effective dimensions (Bβ,
Lβ) instead of B and L. To determine the depth factors, use B and L.
Step 3: The total ultimate load that the foundation can sustain is
ππ’ππ‘ = ππ’(π΅β²π₯πΏβ²) = ππ’π΄β² (Aβ is the effective area)
Step 4: The factor of safety against bearing capacity failure is
πΉπ =ππ’ππ‘

2. A continuous foundation, supported by sand, has a width of 2 m and the depth of foundation is 1.5 m. The known soil characteristics are as follows: Οβ = 40Β°, cβ = 0, and Ξ³ = 16.5 kN/mΒ³. If the load
eccentricity is 0.2 m, determine the ultimate load per unit length of the
foundation. (ππ’ππ‘ = 5,260 ππ)

The effective length Lβ is the larger of
the two dimensions π΅1 and πΏ1. So the effective width is Bβ=Aβ/Lβ.
