The maximum safe bearing capacity of very soft, wet, pasty or muddy clay is __________ kN/m2.

The maximum safe bearing capacity of very soft, wet, pasty or muddy clay is __________ kN/m2. Correct Answer 50

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.
