9.5 The allowable soil bearing pressure at a building site is 6,500 psf. Determine the plan dimensions of a pad footing for a column that supports a total dead plus live load of 400 kips. Note that this column is located within 3 ft from an underground tunnel that has not been designed to support any additional building load. Therefore, no part of the footing should be located above the culvert.

Concept explainers

Load and resistance factor design

Load and resistance factors design (LRFD), also known as Limit state design (LSD), refers to the design method used in building engineering. A boundary condition is a condition of a structure where it can no longer meet the relevant design requirements. The condition may refer to the load level or other actions on the structure, while the terms refer to the integrity of the structure, suitability for use, durability, or other design requirements. A structure designed for LRFD is limited to keeping track of all possible actions during its design time and is always ready for use, with the appropriate level of reliability in each boundary condition. LRFD-based construction codes clearly define the appropriate levels of reliability in their instructions.

Question

9.5 The allowable soil bearing pressure at a building site is 6,500 psf. Determine the plan dimensions of a pad footing for a
column that supports a total dead plus live load of 400 kips. Note that this column is located within 3 ft from an
underground tunnel that has not been designed to support any additional building load. Therefore, no part of the footing
should be located above the culvert.

A proposed building column will carry a downward maximum unfactored load combinationof 250 k and a service load of 185 k. This column is to be supported on a square footing at adepth of 7 ft in a silty sand with the following engineering properties: g = 119 lb/ft3above the groundwater table and 122 lb/ft3 below, c′ = 0, f′ = 32°, N60 = 30. The groundwater tableis 15 ft below the ground surface. The allowable settlement, da, is 0.75 in. The ASD, factor
A 200 mm wide concrete block wall carries a factored vertical design load of 172 kN/m. Thesustained load for settlement is 130 kN/m. It is to be supported on a continuous footing madeof 18 MPa concrete and 280 MPa steel. The soil has an allowable bearing pressure for bearingcapacity of 180 kPa (using LRFD methods) and an allowable bearing pressure for settlement of 110 kPa. The groundwater table is at a great depth. The local building code requires that the bot-tom of this footing be at least 500 mm below the ground surface. Determine the required footing, width, thickness, and design the lateral and longitudinal steel. Show your design in a sketch.
A footing is carrying a design column load of 22 k and a moment of 5 k-ft in one direction.The footing will be founded on sand at a depth of 2 ft. The water table is 3 ft below the groundsurface. Design the footing width for a square footing that will carry the design loads and meetthe presumptive allowable bearing pressure per the International Building Code.
A proposed office building will include an 8 ft 6 in square, 3 ft deep spread footing that will sup-port a vertical downward service load of 160 k. The soil below this footing is an overconsolidated clay with the following engineering properties: Cc /(1 + e0) = 0.10, Cr/(1 + e0) = 0.022,sm′ = 4,500 lb/ft2and g = 113 lb/ft3 . This soil strata extends to a great depth and the ground-water table is at a depth of 50 ft below the ground surface. Determine the total settlement of this footing.
