Problem (2.8):The load-settlement data obtained from load test of a square plate of size (1ft) are as shown below. If a square footing of size (7t) settles (0.75 inch), what is the allowable soil pressure of the footing? Consider sandy soil. Load (Tsf) Settlement (inch) 10 0.4 14 0.6 16 0.8 19 1.0 0.1 0.2 0.3
A strap footing consists of two footings connected by strap beam. Allowable soil pressure is 450 kPa. Footing thickness is 600mm and the bottom of the footing is 1.5m below the ground. Assume soil weight to be 19 Kn/m3 and concrete weight to be 24 Kn/m³. Use f'c = 20.7 Mpa and fy = 414 Mpa. Use 1.2DL + 1.6LL. gog = galow - footing weight – soil weight. DL = 275 kN LL = 400 kN DL = 600 kN LL = 500 kN 4.8 m 400 x 400 column 400 x 400 column 1.2 m 1.2 m a) Calculate the footing dimensions. (Size is in multiples of 100 mm) b) Draw the Shear and Moment Diagram on the Longitudinal Direction. Show the maximum shear and moment.
A square footing having the dimension of 24 x24 (B=L=24) is to beconstructed on a deep clay deposit. Superstructural stress is calculated as 150 kPa. Thefoundation will rest at the depth of 2 m from the surface. The groundwater table is located onthe surface and the saturated unit weight of the clay is 17 kN/m3. Determine the depth of theborehole considering both de Beer’s rule and the Turkish Earthquake Code (2018).
Please explain and number steps

Figure (a) shows the cross section of square footing of 3 m x 3 m. The soil properties are shown in the figure. i) ii) Determine the load Q that the footing can carry. Use the factor of safety (FOS) of 2.5. During rainy season, groundwater level increased to the soil surface. Based on this condition, calculate the new FOS and justify whether the existing footing is able to carry the same amount of load as calculated in (a) Not drawn to scale 1.6 m 0.4 m Water level 3m Q Soil properties Yd=18.3K³ Ysat = 21 kN/m³ = 30°
Calculate the intensity of stress below the centre of footing at depth of 8m due to load of 2000 KN/m² over the footing area of 5 mx 5 m. (Consider 2V: 1H Spread)
Please answer #2 thankyou
Why the bearing capacity of soil reduces when the groundwater table rises up to the ground surface? point: a) Because the effective unit weight. of the soil below the footing will reduce by almost half. b) Because the effective stress at the level of the base of foundation will reduce significantly. c) Both a and b. d) Because groundwater produces seepage.
A structural engineer finished a design of a library. They determine that each column will carry 1000 lbs. the soil beneath the footing has the properties: gamma= 130 pcf, c= 75psf, phi= 40 degrees. The groundwater table is of great depth so it’s no concern. Sketch figures. What is the minimum size of the footing for a factor of safety of 3? Case 1: assume square footing Case 2: assume round footing
