3. Calculate the total load on a 4'x4'x1' spread footing that is buried 3' below, and a hot tub is located directly above the spread footing and the footing column is l'x1'. Assume the hot tub is full and no one is in the tub. Use some or all of the following data to calculate the total compressive load on the soil directly underneath the footing: a. DL - 12,000 lbs and b. LL-8,000 lbs c. 400 gallon hot tub (empty hot tub weighs 200 lbs) d. Soil weight 120 PCF e. Concrete weight 150 PCF
Shear Stress 4. Please provide proper discussion and illustration. Clear and complete solution please thank you. Design studies for a planned building indicate that the foundation loading will cause the principal stress in the soil at one point below the building area to increase to 195 kPa and 70 kPa (major and minor principal stress values, respectively). If the soil is a dry sand having an angle of internal friction equal to 340, determine if the indicated stresses would cause shear failure to occur.
