Chapter 16, Problem 16.18P

Refer to the footing in Problem 16.16. Determine the gross ultimate load the footing can carry using the Patra et al. (2015) reduction factor method for rectangular foundations given in Eqs. (16.47), (16.49), and (16.50).

16.16 A square footing on sand is subjected to an eccentric load as shown in Figure 16.20. Using Meyerhof’s effective area concept, determine the gross allowable load that the footing could carry with Fs = 4. Given: γ = 16 kN/m3, c′ = 0, ϕ′ = 29°, Df = 1.3 m, B = 1.75 m, and x = 0.25 m. Use Eqs. (16.32) through (16.42) for shape, depth, and inclination factors.

Question #3 A total load of 900 kN is uniformly distributed over a rectangular footing of size 3 x 2 m shown in in Fig. 2. Due to the load on this footing, using influence factors determine the vertical stress at a depth of 2.5 m a) Under the corner at point C b) Under the center D. c) If another footing of size 3 x 1 m with a total load of 450 kN is constructed adjoining the previous footing, what is the additional stress at point C at the same depth due to the construction of the second footing? d) Using Newmark's chart, determine the vertical stress due two both footings at a depth of 2.5 m under point E.

A water tank foundation has a footing of size 6 x 6 m founded at a depth of 3 m below ground level in a medium dense sand stratum of great depth. The corrected average SPT value obtained from the site investigation is 20. The foundation is subjected to a vertical load at an eccentricity of B/10 along one of the axes. Figure Ex. 12.15 gives the soil profile with the remaining data. Estimate the ultimate load, Quir by Meyerhof's method. net WW/ SPT Qutt c = 0, y = 18.5 kN/m², $ = 33°, Ncor = 20 3 m Medium dense sand B 10 E BxB 6x6 m Figure Ex. 12.15
