How to Calculate Bearing capacity for Local Shear Failure given Depth of Footing?
Bearing capacity for Local Shear Failure given Depth of Footing calculator uses Ultimate Bearing Capacity = ((2/3)*Cohesion of Soil*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion)+((Unit Weight of Soil*Depth of Footing)*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge)+(0.5*Unit Weight of Soil*Width of Footing*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight) to calculate the Ultimate Bearing Capacity, The Bearing capacity for Local Shear Failure given Depth of Footing is defined as local shear failure occurs when a foundation's depth is insufficient, causing soil shear failure beneath the footing. Ultimate Bearing Capacity is denoted by qf symbol.
How to calculate Bearing capacity for Local Shear Failure given Depth of Footing using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Bearing capacity for Local Shear Failure given Depth of Footing, enter Cohesion of Soil (Cs), Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion (Nc), Unit Weight of Soil (γ), Depth of Footing (D), Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge (Nq), Width of Footing (B) & Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight (Nγ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Bearing capacity for Local Shear Failure given Depth of Footing calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.09516 = ((2/3)*5000*9)+((18000*1.01)*2.01)+(0.5*18000*2*1.6).
