rock and jointed rock masses, and has been subject to continual renement 7. The HoekBrown criterion is one of the few non-linear criteria used by practising engineers 9 to estimate rock mass strength. It is therefore appropriate to use this yield criterion when predicting the bearing capacity of surface foundations on rock.
BEARING CAPACITY OF ROCK. For a structure founded on rock, adequate exploration is necessary to determine the number and extent of defects, such as joints, shear zones, and solution features. Estimates of the allowable bearing pressure can be obtained from table 1. Conservative estimates of the allowable bearing pressure can be

The bearing capacity of a homogeneous, and discontinuous rock mass cannot be less than the unconfined compressive strength of the rock mass around the footing and this can be taken as a lower bound for a rock mass with constant angle of internal friction 0 and unconfined compressive strength qur. Goodman (1980) suggests the following equation ...

bearing capacity proposed by Serrano et al. 23 introduces a bearing capacity factor, which makes the failure pressure proportional to the uniaxial compressive strength of the rock (UCS). In the present study, the analytical formulation of Serrano et al. 23 and design charts were
The formations are harder with depth. In the foundation point of view, highly weathered rock is suitable to bear the structures that require 30 t/m 2 . The boulder bed can take the load upto 50t/m 2 . Fractured rock will have more bearing capacity than the boulders and hard rock still have more bearing capacity than fractured rock.
The bearing capacity solution will be a function of the intact material strengths, and the strength and orienta-tion of the joint sets. 3. Failure criterion for jointed rock material 3.1. Failure surface for the intact rock material For the sake of simplicity it is assumed that the intact rock material is isotropic, homogenous and obeys the
Module 4 Design of Shallow Foundations Lecture 17 Bearing capacity Section17.1 Introduction 17. Bearing capacity It is the load carrying capacity of the soil. Basic definitions Ultimate bearing capacity or Gross bearing capacity ( ) It is the least gross pressure which will cause shear failure of the supporting soil immediately below the footing.
Rock Foundation Characteristics Pacific Northwest QStrong rock with high allowable bearing capacity QRock contains persistent discontinuities QCanyons often contain steep, glacial-cut channels QSteep rock faces are relaxed, and possibly unstable QWeathering can cause deterioration of rock strength QSeismic ground motions can cause displacement and instability
Jul 17, 2019 The bearing capacity factor for the dry rock mass, N , and the bearing capacity factor for the rock mass subjected to seepage forces, (N_sigma S), were obtained that could easily be used in practical applications. The results obtained in this paper provide useful guidelines for designing foundations when seepage forces are present.

Values of q a range from 3000 4000 psi for most soils, while clay type soils have lower capacities and sandy soils to rock have much higher capacities ...
o bearing capacity of soil exceeded, o excessive loss of contact, i.e., eccentricity, o sliding at the base of footing, o loss of overall stability, i.e.,, global stability, o structural capacity exceeded. A serviceability limit state (SLS) corresponds to loss of serviceability, and occurs before collapse.

Per GEC 10, Massive rock can be defined, for purposes of bearing capacity analysis, as rock mass for which the effects of discontinuities are insignificant. Practically, if joint spacing is more than four to five times the shaft diameter, or if jointing is horizontal but the joints are tight (no compressible or gouge-filled seams) the rock can
