Re: how to calculate bearing capacity of soil

Answer It can be calculated therotically and
# 1 phiscically.
Theoritically:
1.Terzagi theory.
2.Mayer hoff theory.
3.Wave electron theory.
Phsically:
Load plate test.
bore test.
electro magnetic test

Re: Why bent up bars provided in R.C.C slab

Answer it is actually economization of material.
for
# 5 normally,
fixed ended beams positive (sagging) moments
are present at
the mid span and negative (hogging) moments at
the supports.
so bottom steel is required at the mid span
and top steel
resists negative moments at the supports. a
bent-up is
provided to take the steel on the top at
supports as bottom
steel is not normally required at at the
supports (only
nominal steel is sufficient). hope it'd help!

Re: HOw to find the depth of foundation?

Answer depth of foundation depends upon the bearing
of
# 6 capacity
soil and amount of load come from the
structure.

D = Q/A.r
DQAr-

Depth of foundation
Superimposed load
Area of foundation
Unit wt. of soil
