- A 2.0 m 2.0 m square pad footing will be placed in a normally consolidated clay soil to carry a column load Q. The depth of the footing is 1.0 m. The soil parameters are: c = 0, = 26, = 19 kN/m3, and cu = 60 kN/m2. Determine the maximum possible value for Q, considering short-term and long-term stability of the footing.arrow_forwardRefer to the rectangular combined footing in Figure 10.1, with Q1 = 100 kip and Q2 = 150 kip. The distance between the two column loads L3 = 13.5 ft. The proximity of the property line at the left edge requires that L2 = 3.0 ft. The net allowable soil pressure is 2500 lb/ft2.

Example (1): A strip footing of width 3 m is founded at a depth of 2 m below the ground surface in a (c - 0) soil having a cohesion c = 30 kN/m? and angle of shearing resistance o = 35°. The water table is at a depth of 5 m below ground level. The moist weight of soil above the water table is 17.25 kN/m. Determine (a) the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil, (b) the net bearing capacity, and (c) the net allowable bearing pressure and the load/m for a factor of safety of 3. Use the general shear failure theory of Terzaghi. Example (2): If the soil in Ex. (1) fails by local shear failure, determine the net safe bearing pressure. All the other data given in Ex.
