Chapter 7, Problem 7.2P
In Problem 7.1, if there was no bedrock present for at least 12.0 ft below the foundation, what would the ultimate bearing capacity be?
7.1 A 7.5 ft wide rough continuous foundation is placed in the ground at 3.0 ft depth. There is bedrock present at 3 ft depth below the bottom of the foundation. The soil properties are c′ = 210 lb/ft2, ϕ′ = 25°, and γ = 115.0 lb/ft3. Determine the ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation.

Rigid bar ABCD is loaded and supported as shown.
Steel [E=27800 ksi] bars (1) and (2) are unstressed
before the load P is applied. Bar (1) has a cross-
sectional area of 0.83 in.² and bar (2) has a cross-
sectional area of 0.45 in.2. After load P is applied, the
strain in bar (1) is found to be 670 με. Assume L₁=58
in., L2-94 in., a=26 in., b=22 in., and c=36 in.
Determine:
(a) the stresses in bars (1) and (2).
(b) the vertical deflection VD of point D on the rigid
bar.
(c) the load P.
