The bearing resistance of footings on soil should beevaluated using soil shear strength parameters that arerepresentative of the soil shear strength under theloading conditions being analyzed. The bearingresistance of footings supported on granular soils shouldbe evaluated for both permanent dead loading conditionsand short-duration live loading conditions usingeffective stress methods of analysis and drained soilshear strength parameters. The bearing resistance offootings supported on cohesive soils should be evaluatedfor short-duration live loading conditions using totalstress methods of analysis and undrained soil shearstrength parameters. In addition, the bearing resistanceof footings supported on cohesive soils, which couldsoften and lose strength with time, should be evaluatedfor permanent dead loading conditions using effectivestress methods of analysis and drained soil shearstrength parameters
