Urgent need
What effect does it have on the consolidation behavior and soil strength?
only HANDWRITTEN answer needed ( NOT TYPED)
KINDLY GET THE RIGHT ANSWER Given that B =1 m, L = 3 m, and Q = 110 kN, the soil characteristics given in the figure are Cs = 1/5 Cc, Ꝺ’c= 40 kN/m2. Field monitoring indicated that the foundation settlement was 19 mm during the first 12 months. Estimate the coefficient of consolidation for the pressure range. Estimate the settlement in 24 months.
Plate load test is adopted globally to determine in-situ bearing capacity of the subsoil and considered as one of the most important field test for any big construction project. A plate load test was conducted on a 300 mm side square plate at a depth of 1.10 m below the ground level in pure clayey soil for an important construction site. Failure of the soil occurred at a load of 45 kN. i. Calculate the safe bearing capacity of a 1.5 m wide square footing founded at a depth of 1.5 m in the same sub-soil. Assume the total unit weight and factor of safety of 18.2 kN/m and 2.0 respectively. ii. State any three limitations of the above mentioned test carried in field.
Scenario The wall footing at right is to be constructed to carry an inclined load at 85 degrees with the horizontal, as shown. Assume that there is impenetrable bedrock below the Sample point shown in the figure. 1) Calculate the expected primary settlement of the soil at the Sample point. Also, determine the time it will take for 60% of the expected primary settlement to occur. 2) Determine the factor of safety against bearing failure of the soil for the wall footing if qult of the soil is 160 kN/m2.
Nonrigid analyses are superior because they consider the flexural deflections inthe mat and the corresponding redistribution of the soil bearing pressure.
Problem #4 At a development site in Cebu, City, a plate-load test was conducted on soil whose properties resemble that of sand. The plate used in this PLT is 62 cm square. The ultimate load per unit are (qu) for the test was found to be 620 kN/m2. What should be the maximum allowable load of a 2.5 m square footing? Use a factor of safety of 3. Answer in N.
