10. The mean unconfined compressive
strength of a purely cohesive soil
was found to be 50 kN/m2. The net
ultimate bearing capacity of a square
footing calculated by Skemptons
equation will be
a. 250 kN/m2
b. 180 kN/m2
c. 150 kN/m2
d. 125 kN/m2
11. The gross bearing capacity of a
footing is 450 kN/m2. If the footing
is 1.5 m wide and is at a depth of 1 m
in a clayey soil which has a unit
weight of 20 kN/m2, then the net
bearing capacity is
a. 410 kN/m2
b. 420 kN/m2
c. 430 kN/m2
d. 440 kN/m2
12. The width and depth of a footing are
2 and 1.5 m respectively. The water
table at the site is at a depth of 3 m
below the ground level. The water
table correction factor for the
calculation of the bearing capacity of
soil is
a. 0.875
b. 1.000
c. 0.925
d. 0.500
