Question
A proposed building column will carry a downward maximum unfactored load combination
of 250 k and a service load of 185 k. This column is to be supported on a square footing at a
depth of 7 ft in a silty sand with the following engineering properties: g = 119 lb/ft3
above the
groundwater table and 122 lb/ft3
below, c′ = 0, f′ = 32°, N60 = 30. The groundwater table
is 15 ft below the ground surface. The allowable settlement, da, is 0.75 in. The ASD, factor
