help me ### Building Foundation Footprint AnalysisThe footprint for a building foundation is shown in the figure to the right. Applied vertical footing pressure \(p_1\) is 500 kPa and \(p_2\) is 800 kPa. Estimate the increment of vertical stress \( \Delta \sigma_v \) at a depth of 10 m below point 'A' under the proposed foundation plan shown using linear elasticity theory for a semi-infinite half space.#### Diagram Explanation:The provided diagram illustrates a building foundation comprised of two adjoining rectangular sections:- The first section, labeled \(p_1\), has dimensions of 15 meters in width and 10 meters in height.- The second section, labeled \(p_2\), is positioned below the first section and has dimensions of 25 meters in width and 10 meters in height.Point 'A' is located at the bottom-right corner of the combined foundation, while point 'B' is situated where the two sections meet.Key dimensions include:- The width of the top section: 15 meters- The combined height of both sections: 20 meters- The width of the bottom section: 25 meters#### Given Data:- \( p_1 \) = 500 kPa (pressure applied on the top section)- \( p_2 \) = 800 kPa (pressure applied on the bottom section)- Depth at which vertical stress increment is to be calculated: 10 meters below point 'A'#### Instruction:Make sure to show your work!This analysis requires the use of linear elasticity theory for a semi-infinite half space to estimate the vertical stress increment at the specified depth.

The concentrically loaded square foundation with dimensions of 2.0mx 2.0m, shown in the given figure, sits in a layer of sand 1m deep from the soil surface. The modulus of elasticity, Es and unit deformation impact factor, Iz values for the sand layer under the foundation base are given in the figure. The groundwater level is 1 m deep at the base of the foundation. Using the Schmertmann formula under the foundation, calculate the elastic settlement value that can occur in the sand within 5 years. Which of the following is the elastic settlement value you have found in mm.
In the following example, a rectangular foundation must be designed whose B/L ratio must be equal to 0.5.The ultimate allowable load Qadm that must be transmitted to the ground is 520 KN, using a safety factor of 2.0. Designing with Meyerhoff theory, assume that the soil undergoes a general shear failure process. For this problem, propose values of B and L that meet the B/L ratio until Qadm is found to be equal to 520 kN.

A strip footing for a masonry wall is 1.1 m wide and is supported by the soil profile shown in the figure. What design loading can be imposed on the strip footing per meter of length? Use a factor of safety of 3. Ignore the depth factor terms in the bearing capacity calculations. However, you do want to compute the net bearing capacity, so you need to account for the weight of material removed in constructing the footing. To do this assume that the removed weight is equal to the depth of the footing multiplied by the unit weight of the upper soil.
