Chapter 7, Problem 7.16QPP

A building column carries a factored ultimate vertical downward load of 320 k. It is to be supported on a 3 ft deep, square footing. The soil beneath this footing has the following properties: γ = 20.5 kN/m 3 , c ' = 5 kPa, and ϕ ' = 36 ° . The groundwater table is at a depth of 5 ft below the ground surface. Using LRFD, with a resistance factor of 0.5, compute the required footing width.
