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

simply take example of terzanghi eq. for strip footing & c-soil = C Nc + 1.Yd for circular footing with clay= 1.3 C Nc + 1.Yd as you can see there i 1.3 time higher cohesive resistance so higher capacity.
