Chapter 7, Problem 7.18QPP

A building column carries factored ultimate loads of 5,500 kN vertical and 1,200 kN horizontal. The column is founded on a 1.5 m square footing at a depth of 1.7 m. The soil is a cohesionless sand with ϕ ' = 32 ° and γ = 18.8 kN/m 3 . The water table is at a depth of 6 m. Using LRFD with an active earth pressure load factor of 1.5, determine if this footing satisfies requirements for sliding.

A strip footing 2.5 m wide is to be constructed at a depth of 3m below ground level. The shear strength parameters to be used in design being c|= 65kN/m2 and ø| = 34°. The unit weight of the soil above water table is 18kN/m3  , and below the water table the saturated unit weight is 20kN/m3. a. If the water table is well below foundation level b. If the water table is at the surface.
A circular footing is to carry the load given. The foundation shall be embedded at a depth of 2.2 m below ground level (GL). The groundwater table was observed 2 m below BOF. Using the following soil data (dense sand): γsoil = 18 kN/m3 γsub = 10 kN/m3 c = 12 kPa Nc = 17.69 Nq = 7.44 Nγ = 3.64 FS = 3.0 If the total service load to be carried concentrically is 520 kN, what should be the radius of the circular footing (m)? the final ans is 0.91
Solving using Eurocode 7, design approach 1, combination 2
