For 2 continuous foundation was constructed with 3.6 m apart (center to center) on a sand soil with Q' = 40° and y = 19 kN/m3. The width of each foundation is 3 m and it was placed at depth of 1.5 m. Determine the allowable bearing capacity (Use F.S =3).
Q.2 A strip footing of size of 2 m in width is designed to be founded at 1 m below ground level. The footing is subject to a vertical and a horizontal load as shown. The ground consists of a uniform deposit of dense soil which has a bulk unit weight of 18 kN/m when above water table and 20 kN/m² when it is saturated. Determine the allowable ultimate bearing capacity and hence the Factor of safety using the general...
A column foundation 1.2 ×1.6 m placed at a depth of 1.2 m. The column of 0.4 × 0.4 m is subjected to a moment in direction of least dimension of the base of (145) kNm and to vertical load of 950 kN. The soil has a unit weight of 16.8 kN/m3 , saturated unit weight of 18.8 kN/m3 , cohesion of 10 kN/m2 and a friction angle of 26o . the water table located at a depth of 2.0...
Problem 3: 40 points) A square foundation was decided to be constructed to support the load of a column in a residential building construction project located in Claremont, CA. During the site investigation, only sandy soil (c'= 0) was encountered. The ground water was observed at the depth 1.2m from ground level. Obtained samples were tested in the lab and the internal friction angle of the soil was found to be equal to 30°. The unit weight of the soil...
A load of 1863 kN is carried on a 1.5 by 2 m rectangular foundation at a shallow depth in a soil mass. Determine the vertical stress at the centre of the footing 4 m below the footing underside assuming: (a) the load is uniformly distributed over the pad and, (b) the load acts as a point load at the centre of the foundation.
