2. Change the footing dimension in the question below to a strip footing with width of 6 ft. and find the settlement using Schmertmann's modified method to calculate the required settlement. Example 8-2: A 6 ft x 24 ft footing is founded at a depth of 3 ft below ground elevation with the soil profile and average N160 values shown. Determine the settlement in inches (a) at the end of construction and (b) 1 year after construction. There is no groundwater. The footing is subjected to an applied stress of 2,000 psf. Ground Surface Clayey Silt 3 ft Y = 115 pcf; N160= 8 Sandy Silt B = 6 ft 3 ft Y = 125 pcf; N160= 25 Coarse Sand 5 ft Yt = 120 pcf; N160= 30 Sandy Gravel 25 ft Yt = 128 pcf; N160= 68
A 3 m square footing supports a vertical column load of 200 kN and two moment loads with axes parallel to the sides of the footing, each having a magnitude of 124 kN-m. The embed-ment of the footing is 1 m, and the groundwater table is at a great depth. Determine whether eccentric loading requirements will be met. If these requirements are not met, determine theminimum footing width, B, needed to satisfy these requirements.
You are planning to build a three story above ground building with a basement parking garage below ground. The bottom of your slab/foundation will be 17 ft below existing grade. You plan to keep the ground water level in the excavation 3.0 ft below the bottom of the foundation for approximately 3 months. The water table is 11 ft below existing grade. The soil is uniform medium sand down to a depth of approximately 50 ft. The soil below 50 ft is an impervious clay. Your excavation will be 320 ft x 150 ft. You have determined that a 4 ft wide x 3 ft deep sump around the perimeter of your excavation will provide adequate dewatering capacity. Based on test wells on site, you determined that the medium sand has a k value of .058 ft/min and that the D factor is 50 ft. a. Label D, H, and ht on the given diagramb. Calculate the flow rate, q c. Calculate the total volume of water that will need to be pumped in gallons per minute (GPM)
I need correct solution Solution in chegg was incorrect So please provide correct solution
Calculate the ultimate bearing capacity considering the following: A strip footing, 2 meters wide A square footing 3m by 3m A circular footing 3m in diameter. All footings are located at the ground surface and groundwater level is at the ground surface. The soil is coarse grained with saturated unit weight of 19.8 kn/m3 and angle of internal friction of 25 degrees.

11. Suppose the soil beneath the footing is now a sand with average SPT N60 of 28 (see below). Predict the footing settlement (in inches) using Meyerhof's formulas. 2 ft 18 ft 6 ft P = 72 kips Sand, y = 118 pcf Sand N60 = 28 Gravel
The underlying soil is a well-graded sand with c′ = 0, f′ = 36°, g = 126 lb/ft3, with a verydeep groundwater table. Using LRFD, design a rectangular footing to meet the ultimate limitstates using a resistance factor of 0.45. Assuming the average CPT tip resistance of the sand is300 kg/cm2, check to see if your design meets serviceability limits. Adjust the design as needed.
