Abstract

The effect of the thickness as well as the breadth of the pedestal on the bearing capacity of the footing has been studied and an economical size of the pedestal has been suggested. The study has been confined to models only. The soil used for this study was a very soft clay having plasticity index 70 per cent and having 68 per cent of its particles less than 2 micron size.
