Question

y 17 kN/m3 1.5 m Groundwater level A column foundation in the figure above is 3 m × 2 m in the plan. Given: D, = 1.5 m, φ' = 25。, c, = 70 kN/m2 . Using the equation and λ = 3, determine the net allowable load the foundation could carry. Use the bearing capacity factors in the table below. 22° 16.88 7.82 7.13 23 18.05 8.66 8.20 24° 19.32 9.60 9.44 25° 20.72 10.66 10.88 26° 22.25 11.85 12.54 (Enter your answer to three significant figures.)
