(b) Recommend the shear strength parameters to be used for short-term and long-term analyses. The maximum confining pressure (cell pressure) at the depth of interest is 300 kPa. (Note: the clay is a normally consolidated one).arrow_forwardA strip footing carries a load 14506 lbs per foot of length. The footing has a width of 2.3 ft. Determine the increase in vertical stress directly below the center of the footing at a depth of 0.8 ft. Provide your answer in psf, to 2 decimal place.

- A plate-load test was conducted on-site in Bataan in which the soil was found to be clay. PLT was conducted using a circular plate having a diameter of 800 mm. The ultimate load for the test was found to be 520 kN/m2. What should be the maximum allowable load of a footing having a diameter of 1.5 m? Use an FS of 5.

- A column load of 72 kips is applied to the 6 ft by 8 ft rectangular concrete footing shown below. The groundwater table is 2 ft deep. The soil profile and properties are shown below. The required minimum factor of safety against bearing capacity failure is 2.5. Is the current foundation design acceptable? Use Vesic’s bearing capacity formula 1a. Intermediate calculation: compute the ultimate bearing capacity, qult, in units of psf. 1b. Intermediate calculation: compute the applied bearing pressure, q, in units of psf. 1c. Final calculation: compute the factor of safety (FS) against bearing capacity failure.arrow_forwardPls give me correct solution- In a plate load test on a soil, at a particular magnitude of the settlement, it was observed that the bearing pressure beneath the footing is 100 kN/m². The perimeter shear is 25 kN/m². Find the load capacity of a 2 m square footing at the same settlement.arrow_forwardFor a rectangular footing 4 ft x 8 ft, 100 kips of load is being applied.
