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°.

An oil pipeline and a 1.200 m^3 rigid air tank are connected to each other by a manometer, as shown in the figure. The tank contains 15 kg of air at 80°C. Assume the pressure in the oil pipeline to remain constant and the air volume in the manometer to be negligible relative to the volume of the tank. Determine the change in Δh when the temperature in the tank drops to 20°C.

Wu L=6marrow_forwardIn excavation for a wall footing, the water table level was lowered from a depth of 1.0 m to a depth of 3.0 m in a clayey soil deposit. Considering that the soil has a water content of 28% when it is fully saturated, and above the water table the (dry) unit weight of the soil is 17 kN/m³. Assuming initially that all of the soil above the water table is dry, then compute the following: 1. The effective stress at a depth of 4.0 m after the lowering of the water table. Take Gs = 2.68. (Hints: w*Gs=Sr*e) 2. The increase in effective stress at a depth of 5 m. (You also need to plot the values of total vertical stress and effective vertical stress against depth before and after lowering the water table.)arrow_forward
