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

### Foundation Load Problem

**Problem Statement:**
A 6ft x 6ft foundation is subjected to an axial load \( Q \) = 225 kips and a moment \( M \) = 100 kip-ft. The depth of the footing is 5 ft. The soil unit weight is 125 pcf, \(\phi\) = 32 degrees, and \( c \) = 1000 psf.

**Objective:**
Determine the following parameters:
- \( q_{\text{min}} \)
- \( q_{\text{max}} \)
- \( e \)
- \( B' \)
- \( L' \)
- \( q_{\text{ult}} \) using the general bearing capacity (BC) equation

**Given Data:**
- Foundation dimensions: 6 ft x 6 ft
- Axial load, \( Q \) = 225 kips
- Moment, \( M \) = 100 kip-ft
- Depth of footing = 5 ft
- Soil unit weight = 125 pcf
- Angle of internal friction, \( \phi \) = 32 degrees
- Cohesion, \( c \) = 1000 psf

**Parameters to Find:**
1. \(\mathbf{q_{\text{min}}}\): Minimum bearing pressure.
2. \(\mathbf{q_{\text{max}}}\): Maximum bearing pressure.
3. \(\mathbf{e}\): Eccentricity of the load.
4. \(\mathbf{B'}\): Effective width of the foundation considering the moment.
5. \(\mathbf{L'}\): Effective length of the foundation considering the moment.
6. \(\mathbf{q_{\text{ult}}}\): Ultimate bearing capacity using the general bearing capacity equation.

This problem involves calculating the parameters of a foundation subjected to both vertical and moment loads and applying the general bearing capacity equation to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil-footing system.
