1.	The maximum safe bearing capacity of very soft, wet, pasty or muddy clay is __________ kN/m^2.(a) 150(b) 100(c) 50(d) 25I got this question in an interview for job.The above asked question is from Ground Techniques topic in chapter Site Investigation and Ground Techniques of Construction & Building Materials
Answer» RIGHT option is (c) 50 The best I can explain: As the given soil is very soft, wet, muddy CLAY, the soil POSSESS very least MINIMUM SAFE bearing capacity. This is because, this soil possess very less intermolecular attraction between the molecules hence it has low bearing capacity.
