9.2 Indicate what footing type is appropriate for the following building conditions: a) High-rise building having three levels (40 ft) below grade, located in an area where there is a thick layer of weak soil over deep bedrock and water table is 10 ft below grade b) Single family residence on a hillside where the top soil layer is prone to landslide during heavy rains c) Two-story commercial building having long spans between individual columns and located on compacted dense sandy soil. d) One-story building for Costco located on flat land with dense soil subgrade. The building has heavy perimeter concrete block walls and interior steel columns. e) Multi-story apartment building near water front in San Francisco, where sub-grade soil is primarily fill and bay mud Note that drilled piers are not possible because the holes in soft mud collapse

You are planning to build a three story above ground building with a basement parking garage below ground. The bottom of your slab/foundation will be 17 ft below existing grade. You plan to keep the ground water level in the excavation 3.0 ft below the bottom of the foundation for approximately 3 months. The water table is 11 ft below existing grade. The soil is uniform medium sand down to a depth of approximately 50 ft. The soil below 50 ft is an impervious clay. Your excavation will be 320 ft x 150 ft. You have determined that a 4 ft wide x 3 ft deep sump around the perimeter of your excavation will provide adequate dewatering capacity. Based on test wells on site, you determined that the medium sand has a k value of .058 ft/min and that the D factor is 50 ft. a. Label D, H, and ht on the given diagramb. Calculate the flow rate, q c. Calculate the total volume of water that will need to be pumped in gallons per minute (GPM)
Based on the given design criteria, and without carrying out any preliminary calculations, develop a conceptual design of the three types of foundations as described above. Express your concepts by outlining the following: How the construction processes and challenges, and repair and maintenance can be minimized. How sustainability and climate change can be addressed.

A twenty-story hospital building with a 400 ft x 200 ft footprint is to be built on a site underlain by fill over glacial sands. The building will have a 25-ft deep basement and will probably be supported on either a mat foundation located 5 ft below the bottom of the basement, or a deep foundation extending about 100 ft below the bottom of the basement. The groundwater table is about 30 ft below the ground surface and bedrock is about 120 ft below the ground surface. There are no accessibility problems at this site. (a) How many exploratory borings will be required as per NYC Code, and to what depths should they be drilled? (b) How would you obtain groundwater data? Explain your answer.

You are assigned the foundation design of a 56'-0" inside diameter reinforced concrete process tank. Vertical walls are 1'-0" thick and 15 feet high, terminating at elevation 25.00. Bottom of wall is at elevation 10.00 and rests on the foundation slab. Exterior grade abutting the vertical tank walls is at elevation 22.00. The tank foundation slab is circular with a two foot extension all around the vertical tank exterior wall. Determine the minimum height of the foundational circular slab. For design purposes consider the groundwater to be saturated to sit grade. Determine the following: A) Buoyant force in pounds B) Minimum depth of foundation slab in feet
