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.

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 circular footing of (225 kPa) is resting on a dry soil with a concentrated load (P) which act at the edge of the footing as shown in figure below. Find the maximum value of P that make the increase in stress at soil element (A) which located 2m under the center of the footing equal to (114 kPa) (use related equations) D=2m N.G.S G=2.62 e=0.43 Soil element A Select one or more: O a. The Concentrated load is about 730 kN

Q#4:                                                                                                                                                        Plate load test performed on a uniform deposit of sand and the following observations were recorded. The size of the plate was 45cm x 45cm. Plot the Pressure-Settlement Curve and determine the safe load on a footing 2m x 2m if the settlement is not to exceed 40mm.   Pressure (kPa) 2 4 8 12 16 24 Settlement (mm) 3 6 20 40 60 100   Note: Write the proper answer in word format Subject: Geotechnical Design
