Q3. Determine the allowable vertical load P that can be carried safely by the square pad foundation seen below. Factor of safety will be taken as 2. Unit weight of concrete is 24 kN/m. The column has a cross section of 400mm x 400mm. Use Terzaghi equation. silty clay 1m Y=16.7 kN/m3 0= 150 0.5m 0.80m GWT c=10kPa 2m clayey silt Y= 19.6 kN/m3 0= 250 4.0m
