Which of the following statements are true regarding the bearing capacity of a shallow foundation? (Select all that apply) Group of answer choices In undrained conditions, the bearing capacity does not depend on soil friction. If the bearing soil consists of coarse-grained materials, undrained conditions should be used to verify the bearing capacity shortly after construction. If the bearing soil consists of coarse-grained materials, drained conditions should be used to verify the bearing capacity a long time after construction. If the bearing soil consists of fine-grained materials, drained conditions should be used to verify the bearing capacity a long time after construction. If the bearing soil consists of fine-grained materials, undrained conditions should be used to verify the bearing capacity shortly after construction.
