Shear Stress 5. Please provide proper discussion and illustration. Clear and complete solution please thank you. A clay soil has an undrained shear strength (cohesion, Cu) of 800 psf. How could the strength of this soil be increased?
A square footing 5 ft by 5 ft supported on a sandy stratum is designed to carry a column loading of 250,000 lb. The unit weight of the sands underlying the footing location vary between 120 and 125 pcf. Estimate the foundation settlement to be expected using the subgrade reaction method. (Neglect the weight of the footing.)
Problem #4 At a development site in Cebu, City, a plate-load test was conducted on soil whose properties resemble that of sand. The plate used in this PLT is 62 cm square. The ultimate load per unit are (qu) for the test was found to be 620 kN/m2. What should be the maximum allowable load of a 2.5 m square footing? Use a factor of safety of 3. Answer in N.

A 650-kN column load is supported on a 1.5 m wide by 2.0 m long by 0.5 m deep spread foot-ing. The soil below is a well-graded, normally consolidated sand with g = 18.0 kN/m3 and the following SPT N60 values:Depth (m) 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0N60 12 13 13 8 22 The groundwater table is at a depth of 25 m. Compute settlement of the footing using the gen-eralized elastic method with Christian and Carrier’s (1978) influence factors.
15 The soil arrangement shown carries 1.88-meter square footing with a column load of 596 kN. Properties of sand: Above water table = 17.04 kN/m3, Below water table = 18.19 kN/m3. Properties of clay: 17.10 kN/m3, Cc = 0.383, void ratio = 0.65. Use H1 = 6 m., H2 = 7 m., H3 = 5 m., Df = 1 m. Determine the settlement of the normally consolidated clay in mm. Round off to three decimal places.
