Chapter 4, Problem 4.14P
Consider a continuous foundation of width B = 1.4 m on a sand deposit with c′ = 0, ф′ = 38°, and γ = 17.5 kN/m3. The foundation is subjected to an eccentrically inclined load (see Figure 6.33). Given: load eccentricity e = 0.15 m, Df = 1 m, and load inclination β = 18°. Estimate the failure load Qu(ei) per unit length of the foundation
- a. for a partially compensated type of loading [Eq. (6.89)]
- b. for a reinforced type of loading [Eq. (6.90)]
