OF SHALLOW FOUNDATION
BY TERZHAGHI THEORY
CLASSIFICATION OF FOUNDATION
As Per Terzaghi
𝑫𝑭
• If ≤ 1, Called Shallow foundation
𝑩
Example : Strip footing, Raft footing, Isolated footing
𝑫𝑭
• If
𝑩
≥ 1 , Called Deep foundation
Example : Pile foundation, Pier foundation, Well/Caisson foundation
TYPES OF BEARING CAPACITY
FAILURE
GENERAL SHEAR FAILURE
• Low Compressibility – Stiff, Dense sand
• Failure is accompanied by TILTING of
the footing
• Well defined shear failure, reach up to
ground surface
• Bulging of sheared soil mass around
footing
• Ultimate bearing capacity is well
defined
Zones
abc – Elastic equilibrium zone (triagnular soil wedge)
bcf - Prandtl’s radial shear zone (logrithmic spiral)
bfg – linear shear zone (Rankine earth passive)
