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.

Example 11 (TBEC 2018 section Z-I-2.1.): Reinforced concrete building with 6 floors and 1 basement will be constructed on a soil deposit with shear strength parameters of c, = 250 kPa and ou = 0°. Unit weight of the soil is given as 19 kN/m³. Depth of the foundation is 3.5 m and dimensions of the raft foundation is 14m x 19m. Under the static condition and with 1.4DL+1.6LL load combination, maximum foundation pressure is determined as 364 kPa whereas, in earthquake condition with 1DL+1LL+1E, maximum foundation pressure is given as 216 kPa. Calculate the ultimate bearing capacity by using General Bearing Capacity equations and determine whether the foundation is safe or not.
