Concept explainers

Load and resistance factor design

Load and resistance factors design (LRFD), also known as Limit state design (LSD), refers to the design method used in building engineering. A boundary condition is a condition of a structure where it can no longer meet the relevant design requirements. The condition may refer to the load level or other actions on the structure, while the terms refer to the integrity of the structure, suitability for use, durability, or other design requirements. A structure designed for LRFD is limited to keeping track of all possible actions during its design time and is always ready for use, with the appropriate level of reliability in each boundary condition. LRFD-based construction codes clearly define the appropriate levels of reliability in their instructions.

Refer to the rectangular combined footing in Figure 10.1, with Q1 = 100 kip and Q2 = 150 kip. The distance between the two column loads L3 = 13.5 ft. The proximity of the property line at the left edge requires that L2 = 3.0 ft. The net allowable soil pressure is 2500 lb/ft2. Determine the breadth and length of a rectangular combined footing.

Question 3. A strip footing is to be used in a clay soil in which the imposed load is 1 MN/m length. The clay layer is 7.0 m thick and overlies a stiff, fractured siltstone. The water table lies at a depth of 2.0 m. a. Determine the footing width based on the long-term allowable bearing capacity (calculated according to the method in the Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual; neglect depth factors) using a factor of safety of 3.0 for a burial depth of 2.0 m. The material properties of the clay are: c' = 15 E = 42 MPa o' = 27° y= 18.5 kN/m³ Ce = 0.40 e, = 0.90 C, = 9.3 x 104m²/day Cu = 25 b. Why would bearing capacity failure likely not govern the design of this structure?
