(b) If the factor of safety against overturning is 1.8 and sliding is 1.0, will you consider the design adequate? Explain in 1-2 sentences and suggest two remedies if factor of safety are inadequate. (c) There is a thin seam of NC clay 2m below the retaining structure foundation. What other analyses would be needed to evaluate the design.

A proposed building column will carry a maximum downward unfactored load combination is 250 kips and a service load of 185 kips. The column is to be supported on a square footing at a depth of 7 ft. in silty sand with the following engineering properties: y=119 lb/ft³ above the groundwater table and 122 lb/ft³ below, c'=0, '= 32°, and Neo-30. The groundwater table is 15 ft. below the ground surface. The allowable settlement da is 0.75 inches. The ASD factor of safety is 2.5. Determine the design of the footing width clearly identifying if it is controlled by settlement or bearing capacity.
Why the effect of using higher bearing pressures on larger foundations requires careful consideration where settlement is important?
b) A 3.X m x 3.X m square foundation is to be founded at a depth of 1.5 m below ground level in medium-dense sand with a bulk unit weight of 19 kN/m³ and a saturated unit weight of 20.X kN/m³. The water table is located 3.6m below ground level. The immediate settlement is to be limited to 25mm.

A proposed building column will carry a downward maximum unfactored load combinationof 250 k and a service load of 185 k. This column is to be supported on a square footing at adepth of 7 ft in a silty sand with the following engineering properties: g = 119 lb/ft3above the groundwater table and 122 lb/ft3 below, c′ = 0, f′ = 32°, N60 = 30. The groundwater tableis 15 ft below the ground surface. The allowable settlement, da, is 0.75 in. The ASD, factor
A 200 mm wide concrete block wall carries a factored vertical design load of 172 kN/m. Thesustained load for settlement is 130 kN/m. It is to be supported on a continuous footing madeof 18 MPa concrete and 280 MPa steel. The soil has an allowable bearing pressure for bearingcapacity of 180 kPa (using LRFD methods) and an allowable bearing pressure for settlement of 110 kPa. The groundwater table is at a great depth. The local building code requires that the bot-tom of this footing be at least 500 mm below the ground surface. Determine the required footing, width, thickness, and design the lateral and longitudinal steel. Show your design in a sketch.
