Calculate the size of a square footing on a soil profile consisting of a medium-densesand layer with constant N values, N60 = 30. The dead load is 500 kN and the live load is200 kN. The footing is embedded 1 m into the sand. Groundwater is 2 m below thesurface. Consider that allwable settlement is 25 mm.
A square footing embedded at a depth of 2.0 meters is expected to carry a net load of 1,021 Soil exploration have shown that the soil below is composed of dense sand, with the following properties: φ = 24° γ = 14.5 kN/m3 c = 5 kPa γsat = 19.48 kN/m3 The groundwater is found at a depth of 1.5 meters from the ground surface. Design the size (in increments of 100mm) of the footing using Terzaghi’s bearing capacity equation with a factor of safety equal to 3.
A circular footing with a 1.52 m diameter is to be constructed 1.22 m below the groundsurface. Subsoil consists of a uniform deposit of dense soil having angle friction of 250 andcohesion c = 4.8 kN/m2 .

Problem 1 A 3m x 3m square footing is constructed at a depth of 2m in a 26m deep clay layer with following soil properties: g =16.5kN/m3, Normally Consolidated Clay, eo= 0.65, Cc = 0.25,ms=5 and Es= 6.0 MN/m2. If there is a 1000kN structural load on the footing, calculate the consolidation settlement of the footing. A 2m X 2m footing carrying 1400kN load is constructed in a site with 2.5m thick clay layer under a 2.5m thick sand layer. If the footing and the ground water table are located at 1.5m below the surface, calculate the consolidation settlement of the footing. You may assume the following soil properties: for sand gsat = 19.25kN/m3 and gt = 7kN/m3, and for clay eo= 0.65, Cc = 0.25, Cs = 0.06, s’p = 200kN/m2 and gsat =19.25kN/m3. A 1882kN load is carried by a 2.6m x 2.6m square footing at a depth of 1.4m in a 30 m deep sand layer. Given the following soil properties for soil calculate the total settlement of the footing after 10 years. Where soil properties are: g = 15.9…

Assume we are building a foundation on a saturated clay deposit with an average undrainedshear strength of 2,000 lb/ft2 and a COV of 0.2. The average unit weight for the soil is102 lb/ft3 with a COV of 0.05. What is the mean short-term nominal bearing capacity of acontinuous footing founded at a depth of 5 ft? What is the probability that the nominal bearing capacity of a certain footing would be less than 75 percent of the mean nominal bearing capac-ity if the undrained shear strength and unit weight are normally distributed and independent?
