A proposed office building will include a 10 ft x10 ft square, 3 ft deep (the footing height is also 3 feet) spread footing. The normally consolidated clay has the following engineering properties: Ydry = 115.0 pcf $'=24° c'=90.0 psf Cc/(1+eo) = 0.15 The soil stratum extends to a great depth, and the ground water table is 50 ft below the ground surface. Using the classical piece-wise log-linear method, estimate the total settlement of this footing considering only the allowable bearing pressures using ASD approach. The unit weight of concrete is 150 pcf. State any assumptions made.
Calculate the size of a square footing on a soil profile consisting of a medium-densesand layer with constant N values, N60 = 30. The dead load is 500 kN and the live load is200 kN. The footing is embedded 1 m into the sand. Groundwater is 2 m below thesurface. Consider that allwable settlement is 25 mm.
