Question 3. A strip footing is to be used in a clay soil in which the imposed load is 1 MN/m length. The clay layer is 7.0 m thick and overlies a stiff, fractured siltstone. The water table lies at a depth of 2.0 m. a. Determine the footing width based on the long-term allowable bearing capacity (calculated according to the method in the Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual; neglect depth factors) using a factor of safety of 3.0 for a burial depth of 2.0 m. The material properties of the clay are: c' = 15 E = 42 MPa o' = 27° y= 18.5 kN/m³ Ce = 0.40 e, = 0.90 C, = 9.3 x 104m²/day Cu = 25 b. Why would bearing capacity failure likely not govern the design of this structure?
The width and depth of a footing are 2 and 1.5 m respectively. The water table at the site is at a depth of 3 m below the ground level. The water table correction factor for the calculation of the bearing capacity of soil is
Please complete the structural design of a rectangular footing with B = 0.92 m and L = 1.22 m. The footing is subjected to a combined load of 495.5 kN. You may assume any values that are needed (c, fs. fy, and others) but please list and justify your assumptions.
Please help!!!
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
(5) There is a strip footing with a width of 2 m and a buried depth of 1.5 m. The foundation soil is silt with a unit weight of 19 kN/m', a saturated unit weight of 20 kN/m², cohesion of 10 kPa, and an internal friction angle of 20°. The groundwater level is I m below the ground surface. Please determine the ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation. (
A strip footing shown is resting on loose sand has the following data (refer to figure h = 0.95 m Df = 1.9 m B = 1.8 m Unit weight of soil above GWT = 1750 kg/m3 Saturated Unit weight of soil = 1950 kg/m3 c = 12 kPa Angle of internal friction = 30 degrees Calculate the following: Net Allowable Bearing Capacity of the footing using Terzaghi’s assumption, kPa. Use FS = 2.5
A strip footing carries a load 14506 lbs per foot of length. The footing has a width of 2.3 ft. Determine the increase in vertical stress directly below the center of the footing at a depth of 0.8 ft. Provide your answer in psf, to 2 decimal place. Do not include units in your response.
15 - The undrained strength of a saturated clay sample is 27 KPa If a square footing of size 4 m x 4 m is resting on the surface of a deposit of the above clay, the ultimate bearing capacity of the footing (as per Terzaghi's equation) is a) O 108 kPa b) 315 kPa 200 kPa d) 54 kPa Boş bırak
