Question

A 10 m x 6 m mat foundation is placed at 2.0 m depth in sand where the average value of N60 is 23. Determine the allowable net pressure that would limit the settlement to 75 mm, using the following equations.

 

 

Ngo (B + 0.3

Inca (kN/m²) =

(for B > 1.22 m)
B

where
F = depth factor = 1 + 0.33(D;/ B)
B = foundation width, in meters
S = settlement, in mm
where
Ng = standard penetration resistance
B = width (m)
F = 1 + 0.33(D,/B) < 1.33
S, = settlement, (mm)
When the width B is large, the preceding equation can be approximated as
Ina (kN/m²)
