Q: A rigid shallow footing has the dimension of 1m x 1m, shown in the following figure. The depth of footing, mechanical properties of supporting soil and the load transmitted through the footing are shown in the figure. Determine shape factor (Is) and depth factor (I). 500 mm E,= 6500 kN/m² H₂=0.3 E, - 5000 kN/m² 1₂ = 0.3 E, 10000 kN/m = H₂ = 0.3 Ao = 200 kN/m² 0.0 m 3.0 m 5.0 m 8.0 m
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.
A square shallow foundation is located at depth of 1 m, in stronger sand. A softer sand layer is located at a depth of 3 m measured below the ground surface. H= 5.0 m and K, 4.0. Find B to carry the 4000 kN load using a factor of safety FS = 3. Assume that the bearing capacity of the top layer exceeds the ultimate bearing capacity. %3D Notes: For the top sand layer, unit weight= 14 kN/m'; d' = 30°. For the bottom sand layer, unit weight=11 kN/m2; d'= 22°.
