Group I contains representative load-settlement curves for different modes of bearing capacity failures of sandy soil. Group II enlists the various failure characteristics. Match the load-settlement curves with the corresponding failure characteristics.
Group I
P. Curve J
Q. Curve K
R. Curve L
Group II
1. No apparent heaving of soil around the footing
2. Rankine’s passive zone develops imperfectly
3. Well defined slip surface extends to ground surface
