Chapter 6, Problem 6.5QPP
A bearing wall carries a dead load of 5.0 k/ft and a live load of 3.0 k/ft. It is supported on a 3 ft wide, 2 ft deep continuous footing. The top of this footing is flush with the ground surface and the groundwater table is at a depth of 35 ft below the ground surface. Compute the bearing pressure for ultimate limit state design using the ASD method.
