For a square foundation, according to the information given and the assumption
of vertical load, it is desirable to determine the dimensions of the foundation.
Use the general formula.
D, = 2 m; Qa = 3330 kN, y = 16.5 kN/m'; 6' = 30°; c' = 0; and FS 4.
The applied load on a shallow square foundation makes an angle
of 15° with the vertical. Given: B= 1.83 m, D;= 0.91 m, 7 = 18.08
kN/m³, ' = 25°, and d' = 23.96 kN/m?. Use FS= 4 and determine
the gross allowable (vertical component) load. Use Eq. (16.9).
A column foundation (Figure P4.5) is 3 m x 2 m in plan. Given: Df = 1.5 m, Φ' = 25°, c' = 70 kN/m2. Using Eq. (4.26) and FS = 3, determine the net allowable load [see Eq. (4.22)] the foundation could carry.
