Chapter 16, Problem 16.16P
For the mat in Problem 16.15, what will be the depth, Df, of the mat for FS = 3 against bearing capacity failure?
16.15 Consider a mat foundation with dimensions of 18 m × 12 m. The combined dead and live load on the mat is 44.5 MN. The mat is to be placed on a clay with cu = 40.7 kN/m2 and γ = 17.6 kN/m3. Find the depth, Df, of the mat for a fully compensated foundation.
