Chapter 6, Problem 6.14QPP
A 1.5 m square footing is founded on a clay soil at a depth of 0.5 m. The ground water is at the ground surface. The footing is loaded at its centroid and carries a design load of 170 kN. Does this footing meet the presumptive allowable bearing pressure of the International Building Code? If not, design the footing such that it does meet these requirements.

A proposed building alteration would require this footing to carry a loading of 400 kips. Is the footing of adequate size? Soil investigation indicates that the foundation soils are cohesionless, have an angle of internal friction of 35°, and a unit weight of 120 pcf. The soil rigidity index value is 150. The soil above the base of the footing is well compacted, and the foundation depth factors can be applied. Use a factor of safety of 3 with the extended general bearing capacity equation.arrow_forwardA rectangular combined footing 8 ft * 20 ft is founded at a depth of 6 ft on a normally con-solidated sand deposit. The sand deposit is approximately 28 ft thick and overlies sandstone. CPT tests indicate the sand is relatively uniform below the proposed footing depth and theaverage tip resistance is 50 tsf. The total service load carried by the combined footing is480 k. Estimate the settlement of this footing.arrow_forward
