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°.

** Please do not put the n value as 0.024 it is incorrect. Also, please remember to identify the channel type.
7. A rectangular, unfinished concrete channel of 38-ft width is laid on a slope of 8 ft/mi. Determine the flow depth and Froude number of the flow if the flowrate is 400 ft³/s.
***Please MAKE SURE to include all parts that I have shown in the 8 steps here and follow them but also show work for the entire problem. Those are all correct I just need the entire worked out problem with all of the work.
