  • a
    Describe Site investigation and stages in sub surface exploration
  • b
    A circular footing for a circular column is 2.5 diame ter and carriers a load of 1500 Kn. Find the factor of safety against bearing capac ity with respect to shear failure, if the soil below the footing has following paramet ers: c=40 kN/ , ϕ=15°, =20 kN/ , D-depth of footing is 1.2 m, =12.5, =4.5,  =2.5
