Civil Engineering A multistory building with a basement is to be constructed. The top 4 m consists of loose silt, below which dense sand layer is present up to a great depth. Ground water table is at the surface. The foundation consist of the basement slab of 6m 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 Na 40 and Ng = 45. For loose silt, saturated unit weight = 18 kN/m³, Ng = 15 and Ng = 20. Effective cohesion c ¢ is zero for both soils. Unit weight of water is 9.81 kN/m³. Neglect shape factor and depth factor. Average elastic modulus E and Poisson's ratio m of dense sand is 60 x 103 kN/m2 and 0.3 respectively. 17 Ground surface XXX Loose silt 4 m Basement Foundation slab 6 m Dense sand Loose silt The foundation slab is subjected to vertical downward stresses equal to net safe bearing capacity derive in the above question.

A combined footing is proposed to support two columns, C1 and C2, with loads equal to 2000 kN and 3000 kN, respectively. The column C1 has dimensions equal to 25x50 cm and C2 has dimensions 25x75 cm, while the spacing between the two columns is 5 meters. The footing is to be founded in a silty sand soil layer with the following engineering properties: γ = 18.2 kN/m3; φ = 33o and c = 30 kPa. The groundwater table is very deep, while the foundation level is 2.1 m from the ground surface, tp.c. (thickness of plane concrete) = 10 cm, fcu = 25 MPa, and the factor of safety against bearing capacity failure is equal to 5.0. It is required to do the following: (i). calculate the soil bearing capacity (limit to 2.0 kg/cm2 if exceed this value) (ii). determine the footing dimensions (iii). design the footing for flexure (iv). check shear and punching (v). sketch the required steel reinforcement

The 2 m x 4 m rectangular foundation is built 1.15 m below the ground surface and carries a total load, Q of 345 KPa (including column load, weight of concrete, and weight of backfill soil. The surrounding soil deposit has a unit weight of 20.68 kN/m³. Required Determine the total vertical pressure at a depth of 10 m below Point A. Provide answer in kN/m², to the nearest 100th. Your Answer:
A square foundation is 2m x 2m in plan. The soil supporting the foundation has a friction angle of 25 degree and cohesion of 20KN/m. The unit weight of the soil is 17.5 KN/m. Determine the allowable load on the foundation with a factor of safety of 3. A weak soil extend from 0 to 2m followed by a stronger clay layer.
A square shallow foundation has to carry a gross allowable total mass of 15,290 kg. The depth of the foundation is 0.7 m. The load is inclined at an angle of 20° to the vertical. The soil beneath and above the foundation is sand with effective friction angle of 30° and unit weight of 18 kN/m*. The ground water table is at a depth of 5 m below the bottom of the foundation. Determine the width of the foundation to achieve a factor of safety of 3.
