Data Given:
Field moisture content (ω) = 21.190 % Maximum
Bulk density of soil (gbulk) = 1.863 gm/cc
Specific gravity of soil (G) = 2.660
Ground surface level = R.L. 98.976
Maximum scour level = R.L. 91.150 Floor protected level
Founding level = R.L. 60.000
Width of foundation (B) = m Pier
Length of foundation (L) = m
Dia of circular foundation (D) = 6.65 m
Unit weight of water (gw) = 1 gm/cc
Cohesion © = 0.2 kg/cm 2
N = 36
Depth of overburden (Df) = 91.15 - 60.000 = 31.150 m
Dry density of soil (gd) = gbulk /(1+ω/100) = 1.537 gm/cc
Void Ratio = e = G/ g d -1 = 0.73 between 0.55 to 0.75
Both local shear failure & General shear failure
Submerged unit weight (gb) = (G X gw + e) / (1 + e) - 1 = 0.959 gm/cc
Overburden pressure(q)=gb X Df X 100/1000 = 0.959 X 31.150 X100/1000
= 2.988 kg/cm 2
Correction due to overburden(N') :
From figure-1 of I:S: 2131-1981,
For q = 2.988 kg/cm 2, correction factor = 0.65
So, correction due to overburden (N') = 36 X 0.65117 = 23.44
Correction due to dilatancy(N") :
N" = 15+1/2*(N'-15)
= 15 + 1/2 * ( 23.442 - 15 ) = 19.22
From figure-1 of I:S: 6403-1981,
For N" = 19.22098 f = 32.72 deg
For general shear failure:
For f = 15.50 deg
