Q1:

If the bearing capacity of soil is 10 tonnes/cm2 and the projection of plain concrete footing from walls, is a cm, the depth D of footing is

A D = 0.0775 a

B D = 0.775 a

C D = 0.775a

D D = 0.775 a2

ANS:B - D = 0.775 a

P= 10 tonnes/cm^2 = 10x10^3 kg/cm^2
We know, D = 0.00775a√P
D=0.00775a√10000 = 0.775a
