Question
Chapter 6, Problem 1RQ
To determine
Factors considered during the design of a foundation
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The foundation system is determined by type and size of the building, the sub-surface water, and soil conditions. The factors considered for the design of a foundation are the shape and size of the building, design load, site conditions, climate, wind, presence of water, and potential earthquakes. Building codes heavily influence the design process as they set several guidelines for the type of foundation to be used.

A load of P = 114 kN is supported by a structure consisting of rigid bar ABC, two identical solid bronze [E = 116 GPa] rods, and a solid
steel [E=192 GPa] rod, as shown. The bronze rods (1) each have a diameter of 19 mm and they are symmetrically positioned relative
to the center rod (2) and the applied load P. Steel rod (2) has a diameter of 28 mm. All bars are unstressed before the load P is applied;
however, there is a 1.5-mm clearance in the bolted connection at B. Assume L₁ = 2.4m and L2 = 1.5 m. Determine:
(a) the normal stresses in the bronze and steel rods (01,02).
