A square pile group of 9 piles passes through a recently filled up material of 4 m depth. The diameter of the pile is 0.3 m and pile spacing is0.9m center to center. If the UCS of soil is 60 kN/m² and unit weight is 15 kN/m³. Compute the negative skin friction.
Determine ultimate bearing capacity using Terzaghi’s theory. A strip footing 1.5m wide resting on a saturated clay at a depth 2m below ground level. (Ø = 0, γsat. = 20 kN/m³, C = 30 kN/m²) The water table is also at a depth of 2m from the ground level. If the water table rise by 1m. Calculate the reduction in ultimate bearing capacity.
