A bearing wall carries a factored ultimate vertical load of 67 k/ft. It is to be supported on a18 in deep continuous footing. The underlying soils are medium sands with c′ = 0, f′ = 37°,and g = 124 lb/ft3 . The groundwater table is at a great depth. Using LRFD, with a resistance fac-tor 0.45, compute the minimum footing width required. Express your answer to the nearest 4 in.

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.
