1. A 4ft by 4ft spread footing is proposed where the bottom of footing is set 2ft below grade. The column bearing on this footing will impose a load of 180kips. Assuming the subsurface conditions shown below with groundwater 5ft below grade, Use Schmertman's method to calculate the elastic settlement of the system 6 years after construction is completed, provide a clear sketch and show units and state assumptions. Oft Sand Ymoist = 120 pcf Phi = 30deg Es = 52 ksf 4ft Loose Sand 5ft Ymoist = 125 pcf Yat = 145 pcf Phi = 22deg Es (above GW) = 30 ksf Es (below GW) = 20 ksf 8ft Dense Sand Ysat = 155 pcf Phi = 35deg Es = 60 ksf 20ft 2. The foundation above is limited to a 1.5" settlement after 10 years, speak to whether the design is adequate and if not how can you adjust the project to meet this criteria.

---Continuation of my recently posted question---A rectangular footing has dimensions shown and is acted upon by a dead load of 1200 kN and a live load of 1600 kN. The column dimension is 300x600 where the shorter dimension is parallel to B. The thickness of the footing is 500mm. F'c = 28 MPa and fy = 420 MPa for diameter 20mm bars. A = 2.4m and B = 4.2m Calculate the following:1.)The Punching shear force, kN2.)The Ultimate Punching Shear stress, MPa3.)The Critical Moment, kN-m4.)Is the given footing adequate for the given loads? Yes or No? Explain
A rectangular combined footing 8 ft * 20 ft is founded at a depth of 6 ft on a normally con-solidated sand deposit. The sand deposit is approximately 28 ft thick and overlies sandstone. CPT tests indicate the sand is relatively uniform below the proposed footing depth and theaverage tip resistance is 50 tsf. The total service load carried by the combined footing is480 k. Estimate the settlement of this footing.
