Question

Transcribed Image Text:5-A 1.5x1.5 m square footing is constructed in a cohesive soil at depth 1.2 m the
ultimate bearing capacity for this footing calculated using Terzaghi's equation was
728 kN/m2. If the load has an eccentricity of 0.18 m from the center line of footing
what will be the value of ultimate bearing capacity using Meyerhof's reduction
factor?
a) 633 kN/m2
b) 673 kN/m2
c) 553 kN/m2
d) 728 kN/m2

- 1. A continuous footing is shown in the figure below. Using Terzaghi's ultimate b.c. equation and bearing capacity factors, determine the gross allowable load per unit area (qall) that the footing will carry. Given: y = 112 pcf, c' = 450 psf, ' = 22°, D = 4 ft, B = 3 ft, and F.S. = 3. gall Unit weight of soil y c' $' 2. Repeat problem #1 using the general bearing capacity equation. Use the appropriate assumptionsarrow_forwardThe allowable settlement for the shown square footing is 2.5 cm. the footing is placed on clay soil with the following properties. Use 4 layers to calculate the consolidation settlement and see if it satisfies the criterion. (footing weight is negligible) Hint: use the following eqation for Aoz (Boussinesq equations) For square foundations: 0.5 Δσ. = P1=1000 KN 2.0 - 1 + 1.5 1 B (2) 1.76 (q - o:) YSat = 20 KN/m³ Y = 18 KN/m³ Cc = 0.1 eo = 0.6arrow_forwardTwo footings, one circular and the other strip, are founded on the surface of a purely Cohesionless soil. Diameter of the circular footing and width of strip footing is same. Then, the ratio of ultimate bearing capacity of circular to strip footing is:arrow_forward
