Question

A strip footing shown is resting on loose sand has the following data (refer to figure

h = 0.95 m

Df = 1.9 m

B = 1.8 m

Unit weight of soil above GWT = 1750 kg/m3

Saturated Unit weight of soil = 1950 kg/m3

c = 12 kPa

Angle of internal friction = 30 degrees

 

Calculate the following:

  1. Net Allowable Bearing Capacity of the footing using Terzaghi’s assumption, kPa.

Use FS = 2.5
