A flexible circular footing of radius R carries a uniform pressure q. Find the depth (in terms of R) at which the vertical stress below the center is 20% of q.
For the mat in Problem 16.15, what will be the depth, Df, of the mat for FS = 3 against bearing capacity failure? 16.15 Consider a mat foundation with dimensions of 18 m 12 m. The combined dead and live load on the mat is 44.5 MN. The mat is to be placed on a clay with cu = 40.7 kN/m2 and = 17.6 kN/m3. Find the depth, Df, of the mat for a fully compensated foundation.
Refer to Figure 5.2. Given: B = L = 1.75 m, Df = 1 m, H = 1.75 m, = 17 kN/m3, c = 0, and = 30. Using Eq. (5.6) and FS = 4, determine the gross allowable load the foundation can carry.
Redo Problem 7.6 using Vesic’s (1975) solution [Eq. (7.12)]. 7.6 A 2.0 m wide continuous foundation is placed at 1.5 m depth in a saturated clay where cu = 40 kN/m2 and γ = 18.5 kN/m3. At 2.0 m below the ground level, this clay layer is underlain by a stiffer clay where cu = 60 kN/m2 and γ = 19.0 kN/m3. What would be the maximum wall load allowed with FS = 3? Use Eq. (7.11).
In Problem 7.1, if there was no bedrock present for at least 12.0 ft below the foundation, what would the ultimate bearing capacity be? 7.1 A 7.5 ft wide rough continuous foundation is placed in the ground at 3.0 ft depth. There is bedrock present at 3 ft depth below the bottom of the foundation. The soil properties are c′ = 210 lb/ft2, ϕ′ = 25°, and γ = 115.0 lb/ft3. Determine the ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation.
Consider a continuous foundation of width B = 1.4 m on a sand deposit with c = 0, = 38, and = 17.5 kN/m3. The foundation is subjected to an eccentrically inclined load (see Figure 6.33). Given: load eccentricity e = 0.15 m, Df = 1 m, and load inclination = 18. Estimate the failure load Qu(ei) per unit length of the foundation a. for a partially compensated type of loading [Eq. (6.89)] b. for a reinforced type of loading [Eq. (6.90)]
The soil profile at a site consists of 10 m of gravelly sand underlain by a soft clay layer. The water table lies 1 m below the ground level. The moist and saturated unit weights of the gravelly sand are 17.0 kN/m3 and 20.0 kN/m3, respectively. Due to some ongoing construction work, it is proposed to lower the water table to 3 m below the ground level. What will be the change in the effective stress on top of the soft clay layer?

Solve Problem 7.8 using Eq. (7.29). Ignore the post-construction settlement. 7.8 Solve Problem 7.4 with Eq. (7.20). Ignore the correction factor for creep. For the unit weight of soil, use γ = 115 lb/ft3. 7.4 Figure 7.3 shows a foundation of 10 ft × 6.25 ft resting on a sand deposit. The net load per unit area at the level of the foundation, qo, is 3000 lb/ft2. For the sand, μs = 0.3, Es = 3200 lb/in.2, Df = 2.5 ft, and H = 32 ft. Assume that the foundation is rigid and determine the elastic settlement the foundation would undergo. Use Eqs. (7.4) and (7.12).
Refer to Problem 8.8. If the full-sized foundation had dimensions of 70 ft × 30 ft, what will be the value of the coefficient of subgrade reaction? 8.8 From the plate load test (plate dimensions 1 ft × 1 ft) in the field, the coefficient of subgrade reaction of a sandy soil is determined to be 60 lb/in3. What will be the value of the coefficient of subgrade reaction on the same soil for a foundation with dimensions of 20 ft × 20 ft?
Refer to Problem 16.1. If a square footing with dimension 2 m 2 m is used instead of the wall footing, what would be the allowable bearing capacity? 16.1 A continuous footing is shown in Figure 16.17. Using Terzaghis bearing capacity factors, determine the gross allowable load per unit area (qall) that the footing can carry. Assume general shear failure. Given: = 19 kN/m3, c = 31kN/m2, =28, Df = 1.5 m, B = 2 m, and factor of safety = 3.5. Figure 16.17
