A structural engineer wants to consider placing the base of the building so deep that the soil below will not experience any additional load. They asked you to design a fully compensated mat foundation under the entire building. They has determine that the plan view of the building will be 65 ft by 65 feet. and the building will weighs 10,790 kips. The clayey soil beneath the site has a cohesion of 418 psf and the unit weight of the soil is 118 pcf. How deep will they have to place the structure to fully compensate for the weight of the building.
A proposed building column will carry a maximum downward unfactored load combination is 250 kips and a service load of 185 kips. The column is to be supported on a square footing at a depth of 7 ft. in silty sand with the following engineering properties: y=119 lb/ft³ above the groundwater table and 122 lb/ft³ below, c'=0, '= 32°, and Neo-30. The groundwater table is 15 ft. below the ground surface. The allowable settlement da is 0.75 inches. The ASD factor of safety is 2.5. Determine the design of the footing width clearly identifying if it is controlled by settlement or bearing capacity.
A continuous footing installed at a depth of 3 feet with base of 4 feet wide is constructed on cohesionless soil with a unit weight of 125 lb/ft³ and an angle of internal friction of 31°. The factor of safety requirement for the design is 2. The water table is sufficiently below the base of the foundation that won't interfere with the design. Determine: 1. Allowable bearing capacity (qa) 2. Allowable wall load in lb/ft. Plb B
9.5 The allowable soil bearing pressure at a building site is 6,500 psf. Determine the plan dimensions of a pad footing for a column that supports a total dead plus live load of 400 kips. Note that this column is located within 3 ft from an underground tunnel that has not been designed to support any additional building load. Therefore, no part of the footing should be located above the culvert.

A footing is carrying a design column load of 22 k and a moment of 5 k-ft in one direction.The footing will be founded on sand at a depth of 2 ft. The water table is 3 ft below the groundsurface. Design the footing width for a square footing that will carry the design loads and meetthe presumptive allowable bearing pressure per the International Building Code.
A structural engineer finished a design of a library. They determine that each column will carry 1000 lbs. the soil beneath the footing has the properties: gamma= 130 pcf, c= 75psf, phi= 40 degrees. The groundwater table is of great depth so it’s no concern. Sketch figures. What is the minimum size of the footing for a factor of safety of 3? Case 1: assume square footing Case 2: assume round footing
