Following are the statements about the major differences between Terzaghi's analysis ("T") and Meyerhof's analysis ('M') of bearing capacity :
a. 'T' is for homogeneous and isotropic soils but 'M' accounts for non-isotropy.
b. upto founding level but in 'M', they are In T', the failure surfaces form extended upto ground level.

c In "T", the angle of wedge formed beneath the foundation is assumed to be equal to the angle of internal friction of the soil but in 'M', it varies.
d. In T", the load acting on the foundation is concentric and vertical but in 'M', it is assumed as eccentric. 

Ascertain the correctness of the above statements and write the correct code.

A 10 m deep canal is constructed in purely cohesive soil having c = 0.2 kg/cm², θ = 0°, G = 25, e = 0-5, The stability number is 0:1. In a canal running in full condition, the factor of safety w.r.t, cohesion against failure of side slopes will be

Statement A : Terzaghi's bearing capacity theory assumes strip foundation in the analysis.
Statement B: Terzaghi's theory does not consider development of shear resistance in the soil mass above founding level.

Statement A : Plate load test is a short duration test and is not suitable in cohesive soils.
Statement B: Plate load test does not record the total settlement of the test plate in clayey soils.
