Load and resistance factor design

Load and resistance factors design (LRFD), also known as Limit state design (LSD), refers to the design method used in building engineering. A boundary condition is a condition of a structure where it can no longer meet the relevant design requirements. The condition may refer to the load level or other actions on the structure, while the terms refer to the integrity of the structure, suitability for use, durability, or other design requirements. A structure designed for LRFD is limited to keeping track of all possible actions during its design time and is always ready for use, with the appropriate level of reliability in each boundary condition. LRFD-based construction codes clearly define the appropriate levels of reliability in their instructions.

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.

Assuming the bedrock is impermeable, determine the time it took the clay layer to reach 90% consolidation after sand fill placement and after sand fill removal. Assume cv = 8 e-6 ft^2/s.
A 3 ft square footing carries a sustained load of 10 k. It is placed on the surface of a 30 ft thicksaturated overconsolidated clay underlain by dense sand. Based on laboratory tests, the clay can be adequately modeled using the e@log@p method. The laboratory tests provide the follow-ing compressibility information for the clay: g = 123 lb/ft3Cc1 + e0= 0.06Cr1 + e0= 0.002sm′ = 900 lb/ft2 The groundwater table is located at the ground surface. Compute the settlement of the footing.
please answer asap The column footing has been subjected to the ground surface. The clay layer has a unit weight of20.26 kN/m3 and has a thickness of 4.5 meters and is overlain by the sand layer with a unit weight of 15.17 kN/m3 and has a thickness of 3.5 meters. The location of the water table is 2 meters below the ground surface. If the sand layer is saturated, its unit weight becomes 18.45 kN/m3.Determine the following: The normal consolidation settlement if the footing (2.5 m × 4 m) has a load of 650 kN. The normal consolidation settlement if the footing (2 m x 3.5 m) has a load of 750
