Suppose that you are to design a foundation with a depth of 1m. It was also observed that the groundwater table is located 0.4m from the ground. Design a rectangular footing that can carry a gross weight of 5kN. Use a factor of safety of 2.5. Present your chosen length to width ratio.
Refer to the rectangular combined footing in Figure 10.1, with Q1 = 100 kip and Q2 = 150 kip. The distance between the two column loads L3 = 13.5 ft. The proximity of the property line at the left edge requires that L2 = 3.0 ft. The net allowable soil pressure is 2500 lb/ft2. Determine the breadth and length of a rectangular combined footing.
1) A footing whose one side spans 4.2m carries a 520 kN dead load and 640kN live load from a reinforced concrete column. The column measures 500mm parallel to the long side of the foundation, and 800mm on the other side. Assume effective soil bearing capacity of 80kPa, concrete compressive strength of 21 MPa, and steel yield strength of 280 MPa. Determine the following: • Dimensions of the footing (use 100mm increments) • The thickness of the footing (use 10mm increments) • Number of 20mm reinforcements along each dimension

Determine the footing width based on the long-term allowable bearing capacity (calculated according to the method in the Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual; neglect depth factors) using a factor of safety of 3.0 for a burial depth of 2.0 m.
