A strip footing is to be designed to support a dead load of 500 kN/m and an imposed load of 300 kN/m at a depth of 0.7 m in a gravelly sand. Characteristic values of the shear strength parameters are c' = 0 and ϕ' =40˚.
(a) Determine the required width of the footing if a factor of safety of 3.0 and assuming that the water table may rise to foundation level.
(b) Would a foundation of that width satisfy the bearing resistance limit state?
The unit weight of the sand above the water table is 17 kN/m3 and below the water table the saturated unit weight is 20 kN/m3.
A foundation is 3 mx 2 m in plan. Given: Df= 1.5 m, o'= 25°, c'= 70 kN/m². With General Bearing Capacity
equation and FS = 3 assmuming general shear failure in soil, determine the net allowable load that the
footing can carry.
a) NOTE: Due to drought, groundwater level has been lowered down to a depth of 1.5m
from the ground surface.
b) Net allowable load that the footing can carry using general bearing capacity equation
and F.S.=3 assuming general shear failure in soil.
c) Ultimate bearing capacity (qu) using prakash and saran theory with eB=0.3m and
