Geotechnical question
A column foundation is 3 m × 2 m in plan. Given: Df = 1.5 m, p' = 30°, c' = 80 kN/m². Using the general bearing capacity equation (CFEM - see class slides from March 17 - similar to Example 1 and 2 but with an added capacity term related to cohesion) and = 0.5, determine the factored bearing capacity of the foundation (i.e. – use Þ). Use Yw = 9.81 kN/m³. For simplicity, read the values of Nc, N₁, and Ny directly from the table on page 26 of the lecture slides - use the highlighted columns. Also, determine the maximum factored load for the column. 1.5 m 1 m 3m x 2m y = 17 kN/m³ Groundwater level Ysat 19.5 kN/m³ =
