Please do sir correctly i will definitely like the answer. Pls make sure its correct.
Q1/ The results of a load test carried out on a plate of size 30 cm x 30 cm are given in Table below. The load test was carried out at a depth of 2.5 m, below ground surface. The soil profile is fairly homogeneous sand at the site. From the test results: a. determine the settlement of an actual foundation of size 2.5 m x 2.5 m carrying a total load of 155 ton and located at a depth of 2.5 m below the ground surface. b. What is the bearing capacity of foundation if the settlement of plate 12.6 mm. Load intensity 0.496 0.992 1.488 1.984 2.48 2.976 3.472 3.968 4.464 496 kg/em Settlement, 0.5 1.0 1.8 2.75 4.4 5.4 9.8 12.5 17.0 28.7 mm
According to a settlement analysis conducted using the techniques described in Chapter 8, acertain mat will have a total settlement of 2.1 in if the average bearing pressure is 5,500 lb/ft2. Compute the average ks and express your answer in units of lb/in3
A strap footing consists of two footings connected by strap beam. Allowable soil pressure is 450 kPa. Footing thickness is 600mm and the bottom of the footing is 1.5m below the ground. Assume soil weight to be 19 Kn/m3 and concrete weight to be 24 Kn/m³. Use f'c = 20.7 Mpa and fy = 414 Mpa. Use 1.2DL + 1.6LL. gog = galow - footing weight – soil weight. DL = 275 kN LL = 400 kN DL = 600 kN LL = 500 kN 4.8 m 400 x 400 column 400 x 400 column 1.2 m 1.2 m a) Calculate the footing dimensions. (Size is in multiples of 100 mm) b) Draw the Shear and Moment Diagram on the Longitudinal Direction. Show the maximum shear and moment.
The figure below shows a proposed foundation site, with 10 ft of sand overlying 20 ft of clay with consolidation properties shown. The clay is normally consolidated. Assume 1-D conditions.a. Compute the initial σ′v at the middle of the clay layer prior to excavation and constructionb. After excavation and during construction, the foundation area will be heavily loaded with the structure and equipment so that σ′v at the middle of the clay layer will be increased to 3900 psf. Determine the settlement that will occur under these conditionsc. After construction is completed, the equipment will be removed and the final σ′v at the middle of the clay layer will be 3200 psf. Compute the swell that occurs after the equipment is removed
Pls give me correct solution- In a plate load test on a soil, at a particular magnitude of the settlement, it was observed that the bearing pressure beneath the footing is 100 kN/m². The perimeter shear is 25 kN/m². Find the load capacity of a 2 m square footing at the same settlement.
The subject is vibration engineering. please make the solution clean and understandable. thanks

Please round to the nearest One (i.e., 1). No Comma! The results of a plate-load test in a clay soil are shown below. The size of the plate is 0.58m x 0.58m. If a square column foundation (3m x 3m) that should carry a load of 3600KN, what is the estimated settlement of the foundation? Load/unit area Settlement (KN/m²) Load/unit area (kN/m³) (mm) 200 400 600 800 200 6. 300 400 13 10 500 20 20 600 29 30 40 50 60 70 Answer = mm Settlement (mm)
A structural engineer finished a design of a library. They determine that each column will carry 1000 lbs. the soil beneath the footing has the properties: gamma= 130 pcf, c= 75psf, phi= 40 degrees. The groundwater table is of great depth so it’s no concern. Sketch figures. What is the minimum size of the footing for a factor of safety of 3? Case 1: assume square footing Case 2: assume round footing
