A 6 m high pier rests on a 2 m x 2 m square footing at 1:5 m depth from
the surface at a site having uniform clayey soils. The unconfined
compressive strength of the clay is 100 kPa and its bulk unit weight
20 kN/m*, The pier carries a vertical load of 80 kN at the centre
including its self-weight. A resultant horizontal load of 15 kN also acts
on one side of the pier at 1-5 m above the surface. Determine the factor
of safety with respect to the pier’s net ultimate bearing capacity as per
IS 6403 recommendations.
