Exercise 6
A building site, the sand weight is 18 kN/m (y=18kN/m ). The foundation bearing
capacity f is 280kpa. The vertical load 5=1050kN transferred from the superstructure
to the top surface of a square individual footing pad foundation under an axial
compression column. The depth d is 1.0m. Try to determine the size of foundation.
(7=0.3, 7a=1.6)
Exercise 7
A strip foundation under the wall of one building, upper axle load F=220KN/m, the
depth d is 1.2m. The ground is clay, the weight is 17.8 kN/m (y=17.8kN/m ). The
foundation bearing capacity f is 144kpa. Try to determine the width b of the strip
foundation. (7=0, 7a=1.0)
