increases cohesion accelerates compaction acts as water proofing agent fills voids in soils

Answer Discuss in Comment

maximum pressure which the soil can carry safely without shear failure ultimate load on the bearing area pressure at which the settlement will not exceed the allowable settlement none

Answer Discuss in Comment

applied load size of the footing shear parameters of soil none

Answer Discuss in Comment

the footing is a shallow foundation the base of the footing is smooth the shear strength of the soil above the base of the footing is neglected shear strength of the soil is governed by Mohr-Coulomb equation

Answer Discuss in Comment

the soil below does not fail in shear the settlement of footing is within safe limits the pressure entered by footing should not exceed the allowable bearing pressure all the above
