Question
A square footing shown has the following details:
Unit weight of soil = 15.28 kN/m3
Saturated unit weight of soil = 19.92 kN/m3
cohesion = 21.44 kPa
%3D
friction angle = 24 degrees
%3D
B = 2 meter
Df = 2.45 meter
P = 861 kN
e/B = 0.12
--> one way eccentricity
Calculate for the net allowable bearing capacity using FOS = 2.8. Use Meyerhof General
Bearing Capacity Formula.
