Bartlett, 2010 Shallow Foundations Page 2 Terzaghis Bearing Capacity Theory Thursday, March 11, 2010 11:43 AM Karl von Terzaghi was the first to present a comprehensive theory for the evaluation of the ultimate bearing capacity of rough shallow foundations. This theory states that a foundation is shallow if its depth is less than or equal to its width.[3] Later investigations, however, have suggested that foundations with a depth, measured from the ground surface, equal to 3 to 4 times their width may be defined as shallow foundations(Das, 2007). Terzaghi developed a method for determining bearing capacity for the general shear failure case in 1943. The equations are given below. For square foundations: For continuous foundations: For circular foundations: where for φ = 0 for φ 0 Steven F.

Thursday, March 11, 2010 11:43 AM c′is the effective cohesion. σ ′is the vertical effective stress at the base of the foundation zD γ ′is the effective unit weight when saturated or the total unit weight when not fully saturated. B is the width or the diameter of the foundation. φ′is the effective internal angle of friction. Kpγ is obtained graphically. Simplifications have been made to eliminate the need for Kpγ. One such was done by Coduto, given below, and it is accurate to within 10%.[2] For foundations that exhibit the local shear failure mode in soils, Terzaghi suggested the follow
