Answer to Problem 8.1P

The value of net ultimate bearing capacity is 16.3kip/ft2¯.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The depth of the foundation Df is 6.2ft.

The length of the foundation L is 30ft.

The width of the foundation B is 20ft.

The coefficient of friction cuis 2,500lb/ft2.

The angle of friction ϕ is 0.

Calculation:

Find the net ultimate bearing capacity of mat foundation qnetu as follows:

qnetu=5.14cu1+0.195BL1+0.4DfB=5.14×2,500lb/ft21+0.195×20ft30ft1+0.46.2ft20ft=16321.04lb/ft2×103kip1lb=16.3kip/ft2

Therefore, the value of net ultimate bearing capacity is 16.3kip/ft2¯.
