Concept explainers

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.

For the embedded strip footing (infinitely long in the out-of-plane direction) shown below, the maximum vertical pressure that the soil can bear before failure is 100 kPa (i.e., qmax should not exceed 100 kPa). What is the maximum overall eccentricity of the foundation in mm before failure? (answer tolerance = 2%). Consider γconcrete = 25 kN/m3, γsoil = 18 kN/m3 and assume that the width of the embedded column is negligible, and the entire top of the foundation is covered with soil. Hint: for a strip footing, the calculations should be conducted assuming a 1-m long footing in the out-of-plane direction.
