Chapter 7, Problem 7.11QPP

A bearing wall carries a factored ultimate vertical load Of 67 k/ft. It is to be supported on a 13 in deep continuous footing. The underlying soils are medium sands with c ' = 0 , ϕ ' = 37 ° , and γ = 124 lb/ft 3 . The groundwater table is at a great depth. Using LRFD, with a resistance factor 0.45, compute the minimum footing width required. Express your answer to the nearest 4 in.

A continuous footing installed at a depth of 3 feet with base of 4 feet wide is constructed on cohesionless soil with a unit weight of 125 lb/ft³ and an angle of internal friction of 31°. The factor of safety requirement for the design is 2. The water table is sufficiently below the base of the foundation that won't interfere with the design. Determine: 1. Allowable bearing capacity (qa) 2. Allowable wall load in lb/ft. Plb B
A 5 * 7 ft footing is founded at a depth of 2 ft and supports a vertical load of 80 k and a moment load of 30 ft-k in the B direction and 50 ft-k in the L direction. Determine the dimen-sions of the equivalent uniformly loaded footing and compute the equivalent bearing pressure.
1) A footing whose one side spans 4.2m carries a 520 kN dead load and 640kN live load from a reinforced concrete column. The column measures 500mm parallel to the long side of the foundation, and 800mm on the other side. Assume effective soil bearing capacity of 80kPa, concrete compressive strength of 21 MPa, and steel yield strength of 280 MPa. Determine the following: • Dimensions of the footing (use 100mm increments) • The thickness of the footing (use 10mm increments) • Number of 20mm reinforcements along each dimension
