सामान्य कतरनी विफलता (general shear failure) के तहत एक सतत या पट्टी पाद (continuous or strip footing) के लिए तेरजागी का अंतिम असर क्षमता समीकरण (ultimate bearing capacity equation, qult) इस प्रकार व्यक्त किया जाता है:

As per IS 1904, structural distress and severe cracking in structural foundations are primarily caused by:

Two columns Ca and Cb spaced 3 m centre-to-centre are subjected to axial loads of 600 kN and 800 kN, respectively. If good soil for foundation with a safe bearing capacity of 200 kN/m 2 is available at 2 m depth below ground level, identify the type of foundation that is suitable and economical. Assume the width of the footing is restricted to 2 m.
