GATE Civil 2024 Set 1 | Question: 8
A $2 \mathrm{~m}$ wide strip footing is founded at a depth of $1.5 \mathrm{~m}$ below the ground level in a homogeneous pure clay bed. The clay bed has unit cohesion of $40 \mathrm{kPa}$. Due to seasonal ... peak monsoon period, the net ultimate bearing capacity of the footing, as per Terzaghi's theory, will remain the same decrease increase become zero

Two identical concrete piles having the plan dimensions $50 \: cm \times 50 \: cm$ are driven into a homogeneous sandy layers as shown in the figures. Consider the bearing capacity factor $N_q$ for $\phi = 30 ^{\circ}$ as $24$. If $Q_{P1}$ and $Q_{P2}$ represent the ultimate point ... by about $100 \%$ $Q_{P1} > Q_{P2}$ by about $5 \%$ $Q_{P1} < Q_{P2}$ by about $5 \%$
