Calculation of Bearing capacity for raft in Cohesionless soils for Sump Foundation :

Ref : IS : 6403, Code of Practice for Bearing capcity for Shallow Foundations

Ultimate Bearing capacity


qd = q ( Nq-1) Sq dq iq + 0.5 B N S d i W'
Where

q = Effective surcharge at the base = 0


level in kg/m2
N = No. of blows for SPT = 16
= Angle of friction in degrees = 32
Bearing capacity factor
depending upon angle of friction =
Nq = at toe 24.36
Sq = Shape factor = 1.2
dq = Depth factor = 1.2
Iq = Inclination factor = 1
B = Width of footing = 10
= Unit weight of soil in kg/m3 = 1845
Bearing capacity factor
depending upon angle of friction =
N = at toe 32.652
S = Shape factor = 1.2
d = Depth factor = 1.2
I = Inclination factor = 1
W' = Effect of water table = 0.5

Hence
qd = 216.87 T/m2

Factor of safety 3

qsafe = 72.29 T/m2
