5. A rectangular foundation of 4m x 6m (as shown in Figure 5) transmits a stress of 150 kPa on the surface of a soil deposit. Plot the distribution of induced vertical stresses with depth under points A (the centre of the rectangle), B and C up to a depth of 20 m. 4m - B 6m 2mc Figure 5
A long strip footing foundation will be used to support a concrete masonry- bearing wall for a business building. The footing will be 2m wide and 45 m long. The wall loading imposed onto the foundation will be 200 kN per meter of wall length. i) Using both the 2:1 approximate and Boussinesq methods, determine the vertical stress increase (∆σ) at 3m below the footing center. ii) Compare and discuss the ∆σ values calculated from the two methods.
7. Pile cap foundation design A pile cap foundation systems is a thick concrete mat that rests on concrete or timber piles that have been driven into soft or unstable ground to provide a stable foundation for bridge piers as shown in the figure below In this example, each bridge pier is built on piles with length of 15 m and diameter of 0.5 m. The modulus of elasticity of the pile is 6890 MPa. The soil provides a frictional...

3. The plan and anticipated loading of a proposed building foundation are shown in the Figure below. Estimate the applied vertical stress ΔσΖ at 5 m below point A. Hint: the stresses at A due to the smaller 10 x 15 m rectangle with 500 kPa is equal to the stresses due to a larger 10 x 25m rectangle with 500 kPa and corner at A MINUS another 10 x 10 rectangle with 500 kPa also with corner at A....
3-5 The cross-sectional dimension of a concrete retaining wall is shown in Fig 3-34, together with the soil profile of the ground. If a vertical line load (in- cluding the self weight of the wall) acting on the wall foundation is P = 1000 kN/m and its point of application is 3.83 m to the wall front toe A. The horizontal thrust on the wall back is H =350 kN/m and its point of ap- plication is 3.5m above the...
