Chapter 16, Problem 16.15P
Refer to Problem 16.13. Design the size of the footing using the modified general ultimate bearing capacity Eq. (16.31).
16.13 A square footing (B × B) must carry a gross allowable load of 1160 kN. The base of the footing is to be located at a depth of 2 m below the ground surface. If the required factor of safety is 4.5, determine the size of the footing. Use Terzaghi’s bearing capacity factors and assume general shear failure of soil. Given: γ = 17 kN/m3, c′ = 48 kN/m2, ϕ′ = 31°.
