Chapter 6, Problem 6.8P

A 2.0 m wide strip foundation is placed in sand at 1.0 m depth. The properties of the sand are: γ = 19.5 kN/m3, c′ = 0, and ф′ = 34°. Determine the maximum wall load that the foundation can carry, with a factor of safety of 3.0, using

  1. a. Terzaghi’s original bearing capacity equation with his bearing capacity factors, and
  2. b. Meyerhof’s general bearing capacity equation with shape, depth, and inclination factors from Table 6.3.

A reinforced concrete beam with b=300mm, h=670mm,and d=600 mm, having a span of 7.3 m, can be considered as a fully fixed at the left support and simply supported at the right end. It is reinforced for positive bending with 8-16 and for negative bending with 4816 plus 418. Calculate the collapse load using the plastic hinge method. (20%)
