Minimum net Pressure intensity, I think we can get hints from the word' net'. Answer "c" should have been chosen.

Net Ult. bearing capacity - Minimum net pressure causing shear failure.

Ultimate bearing capacity - Max gross/net pressure intensity causing shear failure.

Ref. B.C Punmia book
The correct ans is D

Nikhil Is Correct Max Net Pressure.

Chinmoy said:   7 years ago
I think Nikhil is correct.

@Nikhil.

The question is asking about maxi.

NIKHIL said:   7 years ago
Ultimate bearing capacity:The minimum gross pressure at the base of the foundation at which soil fails in shear.

Net ultimate bearing capacity:The minimum net pressure that causes shear failure of the soil.

So option c is correct as it I related to net pressure no gross load.
