For the embedded strip footing (infinitely long in the out-of-plane direction) shown below, the maximum vertical pressure that the soil can bear before failure is 100 kPa (i.e., qmax should not exceed 100 kPa). What is the maximum overall eccentricity of the foundation in mm before failure? (answer tolerance = 2%). Consider γconcrete = 25 kN/m3, γsoil = 18 kN/m3 and assume that the width of the embedded column is negligible, and the entire top of the foundation is covered with soil. Hint: for a strip footing, the calculations should be conducted assuming a 1-m long footing in the out-of-plane direction.
