Geotechnical square foundation design 1. A square footing is subjected to a vertical load of 50,000 lbs and a moment of 25,000 lb-ft. The depth of the foundation is 4 ft. The water table is at the base of the footing. The soil above the base of the footing has y-100 pcf and a friction angle of 30°. The soil below the base of the footing has a Ysat 120 pcf, a friction angle of 20° and c-100 psf. Find...

Problem 3: An SAS timber nominal 6 in X6 in) is subjected to a compressive load of 22,000 lb. as shown below. The column is supported by a 2 ft.-square concrete footing that is, in turn, supported by soil. Neglect the weight of the column and the footing. Compute: a) The bearing stress on the contact surface between the column and the footing. (5 points) b) The bearing stress at the base of the footing (PSF). (5 points) 22,000 lb...
2. You are designing a cantilevered concrete wall to raise a highway above a newly designated flood elevation. The ultimate bearing capacity of the native soil was determined to be 9,000 psf. How far must the base of the wall extend back from the stem to provide a factor of safety of at least 1.5 for both sliding and overturning? Use Rankine theory and a. report the required total width of the foundation B. b. Will a factor of safety...
