Shallow Foundations Bearing Capacity • The problems of soil mechanics can be divided into two principal groups - stability problems and elasticity problems - Karl Terzaghi, 1943
Karl Terzaghi (1883-1963) • Father of modern soil mechanics • Born in Prague, Czechoslovakia • Wrote “Erdbaumechanick” in 1925 • Taught at MIT (1925-1929) • Taught at Harvard (1938 and after)

Stability ProblemBearing Capacity Failure • Bearing Capacity Analysis • How do we estimate the maximum bearing pressure that the soil can withstand before failure occurs?
Bearing Capacity Failures Types/Modes of Failure • general shear failure • local shear failure • punching shear failure
General Guidelines • Footings in clays - general shear • Footings in Dense sands ( > 67%) -general shear • Footings in Loose to Medium dense (30%< < 67%) - Local Shear • Footings in Very Loose Sand ( < 30%)- punching shear
Terzaghi Bearing Capacity Formulas For Continuous foundations: For Square foundations: For Circular foundations:
Terzaghi Bearing Capacity Formulas • D B • No sliding between footing and soil • soil: a homogeneous semi-infinite mass • general shear failure • footing is very rigid compared to soil
