Que a) A square foundation is 2.5 m * 2.5 m in plan. The soil supporting the foundation has an effective friction angle of 30° and effective cohesion of (20 + X * 0.05) kN/m?. The unit weight of soil is (17 + X * 0.05) kN/m³. Determine the allowable gross load on the foundation for both general shear failure and local shear failure using Terzaghi's Bearing Capacity Theory. Assume that the depth of the foundation is 2 m with a factor of safety of 3. [Here, X = Last three digits of student Id.] b) Determine the allowable bearing capacity of a strip footing with a width of 1.6 m and depth of 2.5 m using Terzaghi's Bearing Capacity Theory for both general shear failure and local shear failure. The effective angle of internal friction and effective cohesion of the soil are 24° and (18 + 0.065) kN/m2 respectively. The water table is located at 1.6 m from the ground surface. The unit weight of soil is (21 + X * 0.05) kN/m³ and the saturated unit weight of soil is (28 + X * 0.065) kN/m³ and FS = 3. [Here, X = Last three digits of student Id.] %3D %3D
