Question

The square footing shwon belw must be designed to carry a 2400 kN load . Use Terzaghi's bearing capacity formula and factor of safety of 3 .

Nc = 44.04 Nq = 28.52 Ny = 26.87

Determine the foundation dimension B in the following case :

a. If the water table is well below the foundation level

b. If the water table is at foundation level

c. If the water table is at the surface

 

The square footing shown below must be designed to carry a 2400 KN load.
Use Terzaghi's bearing capacity formula and factor of safety = 3.
Determine the foundation dimension B in the following
a. If the water table is well below the foundation level
cases:
b. If the water table is at the foundation level
c. If the water table is at the surface
2400 kN
+ = 32°
C = 50 kN/m²
Ya = 17.25 kN/m³
2m
3m
Y, = 19.5 kN/m³
