A rectangular footing is constructed on saturated sand. This footing is placed under 1000 KN column load and 500 KN.m moment as shown in the image. Find the eccentricity in both directions and calculate the equivalent footing size. 3.0 M=500 KN.m 0.50 2.5 P1=1000 KN 0.50
A square footing is shown on the right. The footing is subjected to an eccentric load. For the following cases, determine the gross allowable load that the Qult Unit weight of soil = y (or density = F footing could carry. Use Meyerhof's procedure and Fs = 4. Given: p = 1950 kg/m³ ; c' = 0 $ = 40° D,= 1.4 m ; В 3 3 m ;x = 0.5 %3D y = 0
The ultimate bearing capacity of a strip footing is 1500 mm wide and 120 cm deep for a frictional cohesive soil, Use Terzaghi's formula at general failure condition. Take Nc= 57.80, Nq= 41.4, Nϒ= 42.4, ϒ = 18kN/m3, c= 15kN/m3
