Although the worksheet contains the data for Examples 8.3 & 8.4 from th may be changed so that the reader can see the effect of varying the soil p foundation dimensions etc. Select any worksheet to enter data and view results. Ian Smith, Sept 2005
for Examples 8.3 & 8.4 from the book, the data ee the effect of varying the soil properties,
ew results.
Bearing Capacity: Rectangular footing, regular loading Example 8.3 - Case (i) - undrained conditions
Length of footing
Breadth of footing Foundation depth Unit weight of soil Undrained strength of soil Angle of shearing resistance
