Load and resistance factor design

Load and resistance factors design (LRFD), also known as Limit state design (LSD), refers to the design method used in building engineering. A boundary condition is a condition of a structure where it can no longer meet the relevant design requirements. The condition may refer to the load level or other actions on the structure, while the terms refer to the integrity of the structure, suitability for use, durability, or other design requirements. A structure designed for LRFD is limited to keeping track of all possible actions during its design time and is always ready for use, with the appropriate level of reliability in each boundary condition. LRFD-based construction codes clearly define the appropriate levels of reliability in their instructions.

Question

(i) A multistory building with a basement is to be
constructed. Top 4 m consists of loose silt, below which
dense sand layer is present upto a great depth. Ground
water table is at the surface. The foundation consists of
the basement slab of 6 m width which will rest on the
top of dense sand as shown in the figure. For dense sand,
saturated unit weight = 20 kN/m³ and bearing capacity
factors N₁ = 40 and N₁ = 45. For loose silt, saturated unit
weight = 18 kN/m³, N = 15 and N, = 20. Effective cohesion
C is zero for both soils. Unit weight of water is 10 kN/m³.
Neglect shape factor and depth factor. Average elastic
modulus E and Poisson's ratio of dense sand is 60 ×
103 kN/m² and 0.3 respectively.
