The document presents a bearing capacity analysis for shallow foundations at a proposed data center in Shadnagar, Hyderabad, using the IS 6403-1981 standard. It details the bearing capacity equation, soil parameters, and factors of safety, indicating a general shear failure criteria with calculated safe net bearing capacities. The analysis includes specific dimensions and shape factors for the foundation, providing values for both general and local shear failure scenarios.

BEARING CAPACITY ANALYSIS FOR

Analysis as per IS 6403-1981

Project : Proposed Data Center HYD 24 at Shadnagar, Hyderabad, Telangana

The bearing capacity equation is as follows :


qnet safe = (1/FS){cNcz cdc+q(Nq-1)z qdq+0.5BgNgz gdgRw}
where:
qnet safe = safe net bearing capacity c = cohesion intercept
q = overburden pressure B = Foundation width
g = Bulk density of soil below founding level
Rw = Water table correction factor FS = Factor of safety
Nc, Nq, Ng = bearing capacity factors, which are a function of f
dc, dq, dg = Depth factors
zc, zq, zg = Shape factors
Soil parameters : Bulk Density
c= 0.00 T/m2 f = 33.0 degrees GENERAL SHEAR FAILURE Profile
c' = 0.00 T/m2 f'= 23.4 degrees LOCAL SHEAR FAILURE Depth, m g
General Shear Failure : Nc = 38.64 Nq = 26.09 Ng = 35.19 From To T/m3

Local Shear Failure : Nc = 18.56 Nq' = 9.03 Ng = 8.69 0.0 3.6 1.55

Factor of safety = 2.5 as per IS 1904-1986 4.5 5.0 1.75
