Chapter 7, Problem 7.8QPP

A 5 ft wide, 8 ft long, 2 ft deep spread footing is underlain by a soil with c ' = 200 lb/ft 2 , ϕ ' = 37 ° , and γ = 121 lb/ft 3 . The groundwater table is at a great depth. Using LRFD with a resistance factor of 0.5, determine the ultimate factored load this footing can carry.

Compute the elastic settlement for a rigid 10 ft by 15 ft footing loaded with 4000 psf uniformly distributed bearing pressure on silty sand with Es = 1250 psi and ms = 0.3. The footing is located 6 ft below existing grade.  Please note any assumptions.
Please explain and number steps
A continuous footing installed at a depth of 3 feet with base of 4 feet wide is constructed on cohesionless soil with a unit weight of 125 lb/ft³ and an angle of internal friction of 31°. The factor of safety requirement for the design is 2. The water table is sufficiently below the base of the foundation that won't interfere with the design. Determine: 1. Allowable bearing capacity (qa) 2. Allowable wall load in lb/ft. Plb B
