What is Soil Bearing Capacity and Failure Types about?

1) Vesic classified shear failures of soil under foundations into general, local, and punching shear failures based on soil type and foundation location. 2) Terzaghi derived a general bearing capacity equation accounting for cohesion and surcharge. It assumes plastic behavior and neglects shear resistance above the footing. 3) The IS Code method for computing bearing capacity is similar to Meyerhof and Brinch Hansen. It recognizes the three failure types and provides bearing capacity factors and equatio
