- Please correct answerarrow_forwardRepeat Problem 11.1 based on LRFD using the following factors: load factor for dead load = 1.25 load factor for live load = 1.75 strength reduction factor on the ultimate bearing capacity = 0.50 11.1 A continuous foundation is required in a soil where d = 10 kN/m², = 26°, and y = 19.0 kN/m³. The depth of the footing will be 1.0 m. The dead load and the live load are 600 kN/m and 400 kN/m, respectively. Determine the required width for the foundation based on allowable stress design with FS = 3, using Eq. (6.10) and Table 6.1.arrow_forwardThe 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 two cases: 1. The water table is at Im below the foundation (as shown). 2. The water table rises to the ground surface. 2400 kN O = 32° C = 50 kN/m? Yd = 17.25 kN/m³ 2 m 3m B Ys = 19.5 kN/m³arrow_forward

Characteristic values of shear strength parameters are c|= 10 kN/m2 and ø| = 40°. The saturated unit weight of the soil is 20 kN/m3 and the unit weight above the water table is 17 kN/m3 . (a) determine the required size, shape and depth of the footing if a lumped factor of safety of 3.0 against shear failure is specified and assuming that the water table (i) is well below the foundation level (ii) may rise to foundation level (iii) may rise to the surface (b) determine if a foundation of that size, shape and depth would satisfy the bearing resistance limit state?arrow_forwardThe square footing shown below must be designed to carry a 2400 KN load.
