Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering

Q1: The maximum net pressure intensity causing shear failure of soil, is known

A safe bearing capacity

B net safe bearing capacity

C net ultimate bearing capacity

D ultimate bearing capacity.

ANS:C - net ultimate bearing capacity

Minimum net Pressure intensity, I think we can get hints from the word' net'. Answer "c" should have been chosen. Ultimate bearing capacity:The minimum gross pressure at the base of the foundation at which soil fails in shear.

Net ultimate bearing capacity:The minimum net pressure that causes shear failure of the soil.

So option c is correct as it I related to net pressure no gross load.
