A rectangular footing with dimensions of 8ft x 12ft is constructed at the surface of the ground and supports a column with a load of 192,000 lbs. The load applied to the footing results in a uniform stress distribution at the base of the footing. What is the change in vertical stress 12 feet below the ground, underneath Point A, at the corner, on the diagram? The image depicts a rectangle with a length of 12 feet and a width of 8 feet. The rectangle is labeled with a point "A" on the lower right side. Arrows indicate the dimensions, with "12 ft" for the horizontal sides and "8 ft" for the vertical sides. This diagram can be used to illustrate basic concepts in geometry, such as calculating area and perimeter. The area of the rectangle is calculated as length × width, which would be 96 square feet. The perimeter is calculated as 2 × (length + width), totaling 40 feet.

Given, Length of footing, L = 12 ft Width of footing, B = 8 ft Load acting on the column, P =…

A rectangular footing of B=3 and L=6 rests at the depth of 2 m below theground level. The stress induced by the footing is 40 kPa. The unit weight of the soil is 18kN/m3and the groundwater table is at a great depth. A pipeline is to be constructed under thefooting. In order to design the strength of the pipeline, calculate the stress increase on thepipeline by using Boussinesq’s Method in the case:a) Pipeline at 5 m below the centerline of the footingb) Pipeline at 5 m below the corner of the footing
Consider the strip footing shown in the figure below. The soil consists of sand with f’ =36° and c’=0 kPa and γsat = 21 kN/m3. (Assume the footing to be very long).

A pad footing of dimensions 1.2 m by 2.5 m. applies a surface pressure of 425 kPa. The pad footing is underlain by a 1 m thick layer of gravel soil, then a 4 m thick layer of clay soil.

Computations indicate that a planned building loading will cause the principal stresses in the soil at a point beneath the building to increase to total values of 4,500 psf and 1,500 psf (major and minor principal stresses,respectively). If the soil is a dry sand with an angle of internal friction equal to 35°, will the indicated stresses cause a shear failure at the point?
