Bearing Capacity of RocksIntact Rock MassIntact Rock MassA rock mass with joint spacing greater than 4 to 5 times the width of the footing. Local and General shear failure is associated to brittleGeneral shear failure is associated to brittle and ductile rock respectively.

• Compressive Failure:A h t i d b l t i dA case characterized by poorly constrained columns of poor rock.

Splitting Failure

For widely spaced and vertically orientedFor widely spaced and vertically oriented discontinuities, failure generally initiates by splitting beneath the foundation.

In case of rock mass with favorable discontinuities, the net allowable bearing pressure may be estimated from:

qa = qc * Nj
