BEARING CAPACITY CALCULATION FOR VUP STRUCTURE AT KM. 136+100

BEARING CAPACITY CALCULATION (IS 6403:1981)

Project: Development of Purvanchal Expressway (Package‐IV) From Sidhi Ganeshpur (Dist. Sultanpur) to Sansarpur (Dist. Sultanpur) Km 121+600 to Km 164+300 in the State Of
Uttar Pradesh on EPC Basis.

Assumptions & formula used in calculation as per IS:6403-1981 are:

The ultimate net bearing capacity in case of general shear failure is given by
qd= cNcscdcic + q(Nq‐1)sqdqiq + (1/2)BγNγsγdγiγW'
The ultimate net bearing capacity in case of local shear failure is given by
q'd= cN'cscdcic + q(N'q‐1)sqdqiq + (1/2)BγN'γsγdγiγW'
Where,
dc= 1+ 0.2(Df/B)*SQRT(Nφ)
dq=dγ=1 for φ=10°
dq=dγ=1 + 0.1 (Df/B)*SQRT(Nφ) for φ>10°
2
Nφ=tan (π/4+φ/2)= B 24.35
-1
φ' for local shear failure = tan (0.67tanφ) L 45.50
Type of Footing = Rectangle
Depth of Water Table (m) Dw = 1.50
Partial Material Factor fms = 2.50
Depth of Foundation (m) Df = 1.25
