Concept explainers
After the footing in Problem 7.9 was built, the groundwater table rose to a depth of 0.5 m below the ground surface. Compute the new factor of safety against a bearing capacity failure. Compare it with the original design value of 2 and explain why it is different.

Parrow_forwardDesign the size side SMAW fillet welds required to develop the loads PD= 7. kips and PL=60kips for an L6x4x1/2, using E70XX electrodes steel. The member is to be connected with side welds and a weld at the end of the Q2 angle to a 5/8- inch thickness gusset plate. Balance the fillet welds around the center of gravity of the angle as shown in Figure (2). Use A36 steel. Draw the layout of welding. t=5/8 in. L 6x4x1/2 Angle C.G. P4 Figure -2-arrow_forward1.
