Refer to Figure 5.2 and consider a rectangular foundation. Given: B = 1.5 m, L = 2.5 m, Df = 1.2 m, H = 0.9 m, Φ' = 40º, c' = 0, and γ = 17 kN/m3. Using a factor of safety of 3, determine the gross allowable load the foundation can carry. Use Eq. (5.3).
A 8 m layer of sand, of saturated unit weight 22 kN/m3, overlies a 6 m layer of clay, of saturated unit weight 27 kN/m3.
A foundation carrying 1200 KN load is to be founded on the soil layer. If the clay is normally consolidated and the
increase in effective pressure due to the foundation load at the center of clay is 27 kN/m2, Soil parameters are Cc =
