The ultimate bearing capacity for cohesive soil can be calculated using the equation __________

(a) q nf = c Nc.sc

(b) q nf = c Nc.sc.dc.ic

(c) q nf = Nc.sc.dc

(d) q nf = sc.dc.ic

The question was asked in class test.

Right answer is (b) q nf = c Nc.sc.dc.ic

To elaborate: The net ultimate bearing capacity after construction on fairly saturated homogeneous cohesive soils can be calculated from the expression:

q nf = c Nc.sc.dc.ic

where, Nc = 5.14.
