Thank you Sir. I am watching this in Zimbabwe and it's really easy to understand. Thank you

[war_correspondent]

Crystal clear to understand sir. Terima kasih dan semoga Allah membalas jasa Dr mencurah ilmu kepada anak bangsa.

terima kasih tuan.. 20 tahun dulu benak betul nk faham Dr ajor..banyak main kat kelas..huhuhu..

[mhengstv]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Sir. This is very helpful to me. 😁

square footing must be designed to carry 2.50 kilo newton load using terzaghi bearing capacity formula to determine width of footing with factor of safety 3 unit weight of soil is 18.15knper cubic meter internal friction is 35 degree cohesion is zero defth of foundation is 1meter below the ground.sir g please solve me this question

[ronaldnduhura]

what is the name of the book you are referring to us

[emekandukwu]

Pls Maestro i have a clay soil and a pocket penetrometer reading of 3kgcm2, how can i calculate bearing capacity of the soil it is a silty clay soil

[thebrahimkhan]

A square foundation (B × B) has to be constructed as shown in figure. Assume γ = 1 15 lb/ft3 and Yal = 121 lb/ft, depth of foundation (Dr) 4 ft and depth of water table (D) 1.5 ft. The total load on the column is 400 kips. The standard penetration test results are shown below. The tests were conducted using US style donut hammer in a 6" diameter boring with standard sampler. th (ft) N-(blow/ft) 10 15 20 25 10 Use Factor of safety- 3, calculate the size of the footing using Terzaghi's bearing capacity equation. Assume general shear failure Water soil BXB Hint: Depth-wise N value is given. Calculate depth-wise N and (Nio and use correlation to calculate friction angle '). You need friction angle to estimate bearing capacity factors

Salam.. Saya sedang merekabentuk sebuah Jeti Pendaratan Ikan.. Boleh Dr suggest, contoh buku design yg sesuai untuk rujukan. Terima kasih Dr.

[asyrafrosli]

Dr. Kamarudin, berdasarkan Mackintosh / Jkr probe, kita biasa tgk correlation chart utk allowable bearing capacity. Katakan ~50 Blows/0.3m kita boleh adopt qall ~ 130-140kPa BC, tapi bila kita kira menggunakan Mayerhof, kita masuk kan bearing capacity factors Nc, Nq & Ngamma, qall yang kita akan dapat adalah lebih tinggi. Boleh kah kita kekal dgn qall yang kita dapat dari correlation chart itu saja utk design the bearing pressure?

[vargaskevino.]

why you use c instead of c' in the formula for square footing?
