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.

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.

- In 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_forwardCalculate the collapse load (P) for the two fixed ended beam shown below.
