The bearing capacity of strip footings on unsaturated soils is studied using slip line theory. The suction profiles considered are non-uniform with depth and correspond to vertical flow of water by infiltration or evaporation. The slip line theory assumes a plastic equilibrium state of a Mohr-Coulomb soil in which suction influences are included using the effective stress concept. This paper sh...

Abstract In this paper, the application is designed for calculation of bearing capacity using SPT values as per IS code 6403. Accordingly, various input parameters that govern soil are value (N, depth Footing, width foundation, length footing, cohesion, unit weight, angle inclination, types and water table.

BACKGROUND The method of characteristics (also called as the slip-line method) is used to calculate the bearing capacity of strip footings on ponderable soil. The soil is assumed to be a rigid plastic that conforms to the Mohr-Coulomb criterion. The solution procedures proposed in this paper is implemented using a finite difference method and suitable for both smooth and rough footings. By acco...
