Question
A square footing is proposed to distribute the load on dense soil as shown in Figure.
Ground surface
D=1.75m
Dense soil
c = 75 kPa
y=17.5kN.m3
0=33°
Gs=2.65
e=0.75
B=2.5m
(a) Calculate the Ultimate bearing capacity of the soil.
(b) Calculate Design load, if the factor of safety is 3.0.
(c) Compute the change in stress, 1 m below the center of the footing.
