Question

I'm not sure if the last one is true or not please help.

Meyerhof suggested Equation 4.26, because the Terzaghi's equations ... (check all that apply): Were only for continuous, square and circular foundations. Do not address the case of rectangular foundations. Do not consider shearing resistance along the failure surface in soil above the bottom of the foundation. Do not consider the cases where the load on the foundation may be inclined.

Answer 1

Answear First two statementas weste worong because the equation developed by menzaghi is for chip fourclation, which ma con ti demed as two dimensional the case of forting with finite dimentions Convideored as three dimensional Problem. Based on experrimental ou sults Terzaghi luggested following modification for other footings such as square, Corcular and Retangular strip footing, qu = (Noit 8pg Nq + 1/ B8 Ny Square footing; (BEL) qu - 1.2 CNC + 8DqNq +0.4 B8N; circular footing: qu = 1.3 CNC +YO Nq + 0.3 BYN Rectangular footing; CNC + 8Dg Na Yu (2003) + в | В?
