- A combined trapezoidal footing of length L supports two identical square columns (P, and P;) of size 0.5 m x 0.5 m, as shown in the figure. The column P, and P, carry loads of 2000 kN and 1500 kN, respectively. L 5 m 1.5 m P2 1 5 m If the stress beneath the footing is uniform, the length of the combined footing L (in m, round off to two decimal places) is P.arrow_forwardA pad footing of dimensions 1.2 m by 2.5 m. applies a surface pressure of 425 kPa. The pad footing is underlain by a 1 m thick layer of gravel soil, then a 4 m thick layer of clay soil. Using the "2:1 load distribution of a rectangular load" method, calculate the applied pressure beneath the footing at the top of the clay layer, and 1.5 m below the top of the clay layer.arrow_forwardA rectangular footing of B=3 and L=6 rests at the depth of 2 m below theground level. The stress induced by the footing is 40 kPa. The unit weight of the soil is 18kN/m3and the groundwater table is at a great depth. A pipeline is to be constructed under thefooting. In order to design the strength of the pipeline, calculate the stress increase on thepipeline by using Boussinesq’s Method in the case:a) Pipeline at 5 m below the centerline of the footingb) Pipeline at 5 m below the corner of the footingarrow_forward
