PROBLEM 1. A rectangular raft of size 50 x 20 m founded at a depth of 4.5 m below the ground surface is subjected to a uniform pressure of 250 kPa. Assume the center of the area with coordinates (5, 5) and the corners have coordinates (10, 25). Calculate stresses at a depth of 25 m below the foundation level by the methods of (a) Boussinesq, and (b) Westergaard at coordinates of (5, 5), (0, 25), (10, 0) (10, 25) and (20, 35). Neglect the effect of foundation depth on the stresses.
A foundation, 1.5 m square, will carry a load of 700 kN and will be founded ata depth of 1.0 m in a deep deposit of sand. The soil is saturated throughoutwith a unit weight of 19.5 kN/m3. Ground water level occurs at a depth of 1.5m below the surface of the soil.A series of SPT tests gave the following results:Depth range (m) N valueGround surface – 1.0 ---1.0 – 2.0 102.0 – 3.0 123.0 – 4.0 144.0 – 5.0 20Determine the elastic settlement at the centre of the foundation using DeBeer and Martens’ method.
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 4-m diameter circular footing is supporting a water tank. The total weight of the footing, tank and its contents is 1.60 MN. Using the Bousinessq equation: ?? = ? × ?? where ?? = 1 − 1/? and ? = [(?/?) 2 + 1] 3/2 , determine: a. The pressure at the base of the footing b. The increase in pressure at a depth of 4 meters below the base of the footing c. The depth below the base of the footing where pressure increase is equal to 1/6 pressure at the base of the footing
A strip footing 10 ft wide is loaded on the ground surface with a pressure equal to 4177 lb/ft 2 . Calculate vertical stresses at depths of 3, 6, and 12 ft under the center of The footing?
The capacity for a certain foundation system is estimated to be 620 kN with a COV of 0.3. Thedemand on the foundation is estimated to be 150 kN with a COV of 0.15. Compute the meanfactor of safety of this foundation and its probability of failure assuming both capacity anddemand are normally distributed.
Question 01. Using the Fadum chart provided, calculate the total vertical stress due to 200 kPa uniform contact pressure at a depth of 6m below point A for the rectangular raft foundation as per Question 1 part of the attached image. L1 = 7m L2 = 3m B1 = 9m B2 = 4m Question 02. A section of the proposed foundation in Question 01 has an obstruction. A redesign is carried out as shown in Question 2 part of the attached image. The original proposed footprint was maintained, and the section removed from the design has a width of B3 = 2mCalculate the total vertical stress at the same depth below A and the same uniform pressure in Question 01.
