Shallow Footings Bearing Capacity
Shallow Footings Bearing Capacity
(OP)
When calculating bearing capacity for shallow footings, in the various formulae (including Terzaghis) do I use drained or undrained parameters? For context, most of these calculations are done for clay. Most engineers are using undrained shear strength (and phi=0) to calculate bearing capacity, but shouldn't we calculate drained conditions as well using just friction angle?
