Question

Transcribed Image Text:A 50-kip vertical downward column load (P) acts at the center of a 4-ft-square (4-ft wide by 4-ft long)
normal-weight reinforced concrete footing (Yconc = 150 pcf)). The bottom of this shallow footing is 3 ft
below the level ground surface, and the top of the footing is flush with the ground surface. Laboratory
testing shows the soil from the ground surface to at least 15-ft depth is uniform clay with a total unit
weight of 120 pcf and an undrained shear strength (Su) of 1.0 ksf. The long-term groundwater table is
at a depth of 10 ft below the ground surface.
Use the above information to answer the following two questions.
Compute the weight of the foundation, Wf.
Answer:
Okips Oksf Okcf
Compute the gross bearing pressure (contact pressure) at the base of the footing that is imposed on
the underlying soil by the footing and column load.
Answer:
Oksf Okips
