13-7 A long strip footing 1.25 m wide is used to sup- port the perimeter masonry bearing walls for a warehouse building. The soil underlying the building area is a clay where the undrained shear strength is 40 kPa (use zero for the angle of in- ternal friction), and the soil unit weight is 16 kN/m³. The rigidity index for the clay is 9. The foundation is constructed 1 m below the ground surface, and the soil backfill is well compacted. Applying the extended bearing capacity equation with a factor of safety of 3, calculate the maxi- mum load to be carried by the foundation, per meter of length.

The initial principal stresses at a certain depth in a clay soil are 100 kPa on the horizontal plane and 50 kPa on the vertical plane. Construction of a surface foundation induces additional stresses consisting of a vertical stress of 45 kPa, a lateral stress of 20 kPa, and a counterclockwise (with respect to the horizontal plane) shear stressof 40 kPa. Determine the change in orientation of the principal plane resulting from the construction of foundation.
