Foundation Analysis and Design: Dr. Amit Prashant
Principal Modes of Failure:

General Shear Failure: Load / Area
q
qu
Settlement
Sudden or catastrophic failure
Well defined failure surface
Bulging on the ground surface adjacent to foundation
Common failure mode in dense sand

Load / Area
Local Shear Failure: q
qu1
Setttlement
qu
Common in sand or clay with medium compaction

Significant settlement upon loading
Failure surface first develops
p right
g below the foundation and then
slowly extends outwards with load increments
Foundation movement shows sudden jerks first (at qu1) and then
after a considerable amount of movement the slip surface may
reachh th
the ground.
d
A small amount of bulging may occur next to the foundation.

Load / Area
Punching Failure: q

Setttlement
Common in fairly loose sand or soft clay
Failure surface does not extends beyond the zone right beneath the
foundation
Extensive settlement with a wedge shaped soil zone in elastic
equilibrium beneath the foundation. Vertical shear occurs around the
edges of foundation.

2. The values are consistent

with a vertical load or a
vertical load accompanied by
a horizontal load HB.
3. With a vertical load and a

load HL (and either HB=0 or
HB>0) you may have to
compute two sets of shape
and depth factors si,B, si,L
and di,B, di,L. For i,L
subscripts use ratio L/B or
D/L.
4. Compute qu independently
by using (siB, diB) and (siL,
diL) and use min value for
design.

Notes:
1. Use Hi as either HB or HL,

or both if HL>0.
2. Hansen (1970) did not give

an ic for >0. The value given
here is from Hansen (1961)
and also used by Vesic.

2. Compute m = mB when
