Foundation Engineering Homework: The allowable settlement for a continuous footing shown in the figure below is 45 mm. Using the classical method (Terzaghi method), compute its settlement and determine if it satisfies design criterion. Assume the soil beneath the continuous footing is fully saturated. Use the simplified method to compute induced stresses at mid-point of each soil layer.

Q1/ The results of a load test carried out on a plate of size 30 cm x 30 cm are given in Table below. The load test was carried out at a depth of 2.5 m, below ground surface. The soil profile is fairly homogeneous sand at the site. From the test results: a. determine the settlement of an actual foundation of size 2.5 m x 2.5 m carrying a total load of 155 ton and located at a depth of 2.5 m below the ground surface. b.

Scenario The wall footing at right is to be constructed to carry an inclined load at 85 degrees with the horizontal, as shown. Assume that there is impenetrable bedrock below the Sample point shown in the figure. 1) Calculate the expected primary settlement of the soil at the Sample point. Also, determine the time it will take for 60% of the expected primary settlement to occur. 2) Determine the factor of safety against bearing failure of the soil for the wall footing if qult of the soil is 160 kN/m2.

A rectangular footing with dimensions of 8ft x 12ft is constructed at the surface of the ground and supports a column with a load of 192,000 lbs. The load applied to the footing results in a uniform stress distribution at the base of the footing. What is the change in vertical stress 12 feet below the ground, underneath Point A, at the corner, on the diagram?
A square footing 5 ft by 5 ft supported on a sandy stratum is designed to carry a column loading of 250,000 lb. The unit weight of the sands underlying the footing location vary between 120 and 125 pcf. Estimate the foundation settlement to be expected using the subgrade reaction method. (Neglect the weight of the footing.)
