Compute for the stresses (initial, const and final stage) and check for compliance in NSCP provisions. Also compute the following: 1. Compute and check if the section is Uncracked, Transition or Cracked as per NSCP. 2. Compute for its flexural capacity and check if it could carry the given load.

4. Determine the stability of the cantilever shown in the figure below (use Coulomb earth theory for the lateral stress due to the backfill material). 1 m 0.5 m Backfill 7 = 18.5 kN/m³ • = 30° 20 6 = 20° 6 m Y₁ = 24 kN/m³ 1.2 m 1 m 4.5 m Base soil Clay: 7 = 19 kN/m³,0 = 30%, 0,, = 20°, s,, = 94 kPa a. With s₁ = c = 94 kPa (disregard values), determine allowable soil bearing capacity of the base soil if the factor of safety is equal to 3. b. Determine the FS against overturning. C. Determine the FS against sliding if the coefficient of friction between footing concrete base and soil is b. d. Determine the FS for bearing capacity.
Directions: Show your solutions explicitly, i.e., do not just write the final answer. 1. A wall footing is to be constructed on a clay soil 1.4 below the ground. The footing is to support a wall that imposes a load of 130 kN per meter of wall length. Considering general shear failure, determine the following: 130 kN/mm 1.4 m a. Footing width if the factor of safety is 3. b. Ultimate bearing capacity if B = 0.95 m. C. New factor of safety. y = 17.92 kN/m² c = 14.5 kPa $ = 30° 1.5 m and has its hottom 2 m below the ground surface.
