A large warehouse was recently constructed in Winnellie with large portal frames spaced at 6m centers supported on pad footings. After construction of the warehouse, it was found that one footing had settled by 35mm but the two adjacent footings had only settled by 5mm and 12mm. (a) Determine the maximum differential settlement. (b) Determine the maximum angular distortion. (c) If the limit for angular distortion for structural damage on this project is 1/250 is the value from (b) acceptable? Give a brief comment. (d) What will be the maximum values of differential settlement for architectural damage (1/350) and for structural damage (1/250) for this project?

In a plate load test on a soil, at a particular magnitude of the settlement, it was observed that the bearing pressure beneath the footing is 100 kN/m2 and the perimeter shear is 25 kN/m². Corresponding, the load capacity of a 2 m square footing at the same settlement will be
A proposed building will have column loads ranging from 40 to 300 k. All of these columnswill be supported on square spread footings.

A 7 foot-square footing is embedded 3 feet below the ground surface and is supported on a clayey sand fill having a total unit weight of 130 pcf. Groundwater is at 8 feet below the ground surface. Consolidated undrained triaxial tests with porewater pressure measurements on three "identical" samples suggest the fill has a drained friction angle of 29 degrees and drained cohesion of 50 psf. What is the allowable bearing capacity for this footing for a factor of safety of 3 AND what is the maximum allowable column load the footing can safely support based on this factor of safety?

Question 2: For the footing given below, calculate the ultimate bearing capacity (qu or qf) and net ultimate bearing capacity (4nf) of the footing given below using General Bearing Capacity Equation. General shear failure occurs in the soil and the relevant information are given below. There is no ground water level. It has been observed that resultant load acting on the footing is vertical. However, resultant load creates an eccentricity (only one-way eccentricity), therefore, a moment. The eccentricity is e = 0.5 m D, = 3 m 6m * 6m Soil c' = 3 kPa o' = 30° Ym = 19 kN/m³3 Center Line
