According to IS code method, what is the formula of reduction factor (Rw) for the effect of water table on the unit weight term of bearing capacity of soil? (where Zw2 is depth of water table below foundation level and B is width of footing)
- 1Rw = 0.5 × (Zw2D)
- 2Rw = 0.5 × (1 - Zw2B)
- 3Rw = 0.5 × (1 + Zw2D)
- 4Rw = 0.5 × (1 + Zw2B)✓
Correct answer
Rw = 0.5 × (1 + Zw2B)
