A rectangular footing 3m x 2m exerts a pressure of 100kN/m2on a cohesive soil Es= 5x104 kN/m2and µ = 0.5. Estimate the immediatesettlement at the centre, assuming(a) the footing is flexible (b) the footing is rigid (ii) Write about influence of water table in determination of bearing capacity.
Hello and hope your help with foundation CEE 430 thanks
A rectangular footing 3m by 4m is founded 1.2m below the ground surface for which the unit weight of soil is 17.8kN/m3. The cohesion strength is 10kPa and the angle of internal friction is 20degrees. Under the condition of general failure, evaluate the contribution from the following to the ultimate soil bearing capacity in kPa. The ground water table is at a level that does not affect the unit weight of the soil. Use Terzaghi’s bearing capacity factor. For Ø=20degrees: Nc = 17.69, Nq = 7.44, Ny = 3.64. 23.

A 3m x 3m square footing is constructed at a depth of 2m in a 26m deep clay layer with following soil properties: ] =16.5kN/m³, Normally Consolidated Clay, e̟= 0.65, Cc = 0.25,s=0.5 and Es= 6.0 MN/m2. If there is a 1000kN structural load on the footing, calculate the consolidation settlement of the footing.
Calculate the size of a square footing on a soil profile consisting of a medium-densesand layer with constant N values, N60 = 30. The dead load is 500 kN and the live load is200 kN.

2. A 2m X 2m footing carrying 1400KN load is constructed in a site with 2.5m thick clay layer under a 2.5m thick sand layer. If the footing and the ground water table are located at 1.5m below the surface, calculate the consolidation settlement of the footing. You may assume the following soil properties: for sand sat 15.7kN/m°, and for clay eo= 0.65, Cc = 0.25, Cs = 0.06, O'p = 200kN/m² and sat =19.25KN/m³. 19.25kN/m and t = %3D

2) A square footing carries an allowable load of 59130kg including its own weight. The bottom of footing is 1.0m below ground surface and water table coincide with bottom of footing. Assume General shear failure. Unit Weight = 1846kg/cu.m c= 1605kg/sqm Nc = 35 Nq=22 Ny=19 1.0m Sat unit wt = 1956kg/cu.m
Correction: Round off your answer to the nearest multiple of ten. * A 3.2 m x 3.2 m square footing has a load of 1200 kg. From the bottom of the footing, an 8 m thick sand lies on top of a 2.8 m clay layer. The foundation is 1500 mm deep. The clay layer has LL = 48 and e = 0.95. The saturated densities of sand and clay are 1860 kg/m³ and 1760 kg/m³ respectively. Q: If the water level rises just to the ground surface and using the 2:1 method, what is the primary consolidation settlement of the clay in mm? Round off your answer to the nearest value of ten.
