The bearing capacity of a strip footing on a saturated clay is 120 KN/m2. The bearing capacity of a circular footing (diameter=width) will be. 1. more then 120 2. less then 120 3. equal to 120 4.all

please explain

Your Answer

1. greater than 120.. bcoz strip footing bearing capacity is given by qu = CNc + ¥DNq +0.5 ¥BN, whereas for circular footing bearing capacity is qu= 1.3CNc + ¥D Nq
