The groundwater table is at a depth of 15 m and the footing will be located 0.5 m below the ground surface. Determine the required footing size if Þ = 0.5. Use Terzaghi's bearing capacity equation for a square footing. Solve for 'B', making sure to use the reduction factor ; trial and error is the easiest way to solve for 'B'.

A proposed office building will include a 10 ft x10 ft square, 3 ft deep (the footing height is also 3 feet) spread footing. The normally consolidated clay has the following engineering properties: Ydry = 115.0 pcf $'=24° c'=90.0 psf Cc/(1+eo) = 0.15 The soil stratum extends to a great depth, and the ground water table is 50 ft below the ground surface. Using the classical piece-wise log-linear method, estimate the total settlement of this footing considering only the allowable bearing pressures using ASD approach. The unit weight of concrete is 150 pcf. State any assumptions made.
A 2.0 m 2.0 m square pad footing will be placed in a normally consolidated clay soil to carry a column load Q. The depth of the footing is 1.0 m.

Question 3. A strip footing is to be used in a clay soil in which the imposed load is 1 MN/m length. The clay layer is 7.0 m thick and overlies a stiff, fractured siltstone. The water table lies at a depth of 2.0 m. a. Determine the footing width based on the long-term allowable bearing capacity (calculated according to the method in the Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual; neglect depth factors) using a factor of safety of 3.0 for a burial depth of 2.0 m.
