1Bearing capacities of soil are calculated using [blank_start]SPT[blank_end] and [blank_start]triaxial[blank_end] tests
- ASPT
- Btriaxial
2What determines if shallow or deep foundations are used? [blank_start]Bearing capacity[blank_end]
- ABearing capacity
3Strips typically support [blank_start]walls[blank_end], they are narrow (width more than [blank_start]1m[blank_end]) and they have [blank_start]concrete footing[blank_end]
- Awalls
- B1m
- Cconcrete footing
4[blank_start]Pads[blank_end] support columns and there are various types
- APads
5Raft/slab foundations spread the [blank_start]load[blank_end] and they are used for [blank_start]soft/loose soils[blank_end]
- Aload
- Bsoft/loose soils
6There are two types of piled foundations: [blank_start]End bearing[blank_end] which terminate in [blank_start]hard[blank_end] stratum and [blank_start]friction piles[blank_end] which gain capacity strength from [blank_start]end[blank_end] bearing and skin friction
- AEnd bearing
- Bhard
- Cfriction piles
- Dend
7non-displacement piles: [blank_start]soil removed[blank_end], [blank_start]filled with concrete[blank_end], [blank_start]pre-cast piles[blank_end], [blank_start]large-diameter bored[blank_end], [blank_start]massive rotary rigs[blank_end], [blank_start]useful in made ground and boulder clay[blank_end].
Displacement piles: [blank_start]soil displaced radially and vertically[blank_end], [blank_start]concrete, steel or a combination[blank_end], [blank_start]typically driven[blank_end] [blank_start](void filled with concrete)[blank_end]- Asoil removed
- Bfilled with concrete
- Cpre-cast piles
- Dlarge-diameter bored
- Emassive rotary rigs
- Fuseful in made ground and boulder clay
- Gsoil displaced radially and vertically
- Hconcrete, steel or a combination
- Itypically driven
- J(void filled with concrete)
8Ultimate bearing capacity is the theoretical maximum [blank_start]pressure without failure[blank_end]
- Apressure without failure
9Bearing capacity is the capacity of soil to support loads applied to the ground
- ATrue
- BFalse
10Bearing capacity is the capacity of soil to support loads applied to the soil
- ATrue
- BFalse
11The factor of Safety ([blank_start]FOS[blank_end] or [blank_start]Sf[blank_end]) is usually ensured to be [blank_start]2-3[blank_end] (mostly [blank_start]3[blank_end] or above)
- AFOS
- BSf
- C2-3
- D3
12Total settlement is the [blank_start]uniform[blank_end] settlement of the [blank_start]entire structure[blank_end]. Weight of the structure and [blank_start]imposed loads[blank_end]
- Auniform
- Bentire structure
- Cimposed loads
13Differential settlement - loads on the structure are [blank_start]unevenly distributed[blank_end], variations in soil [blank_start]properties[blank_end] or [blank_start]construction[blank_end] related variations.
- Aunevenly distributed
- Bproperties
- Cconstruction
