- Explain the Normalized Load-Displacement Behavior of Shalow Foundations on Sand (after Vesic 1973) ?Explain the procedure for doing the stress test of sample soil?From the plate load test (plate dimensions 1 ft × 1 ft) in the field, the coefficient of subgrade reaction of a sandy soil is determined to be 60 lb/in3. What will be the value of the coefficient of subgrade reaction on the same soil for a foundation with dimensions of 20 ft × 20 ft?
- Refer to Problem 8.8. If the full-sized foundation had dimensions of 70 ft × 30 ft, what will be the value of the coefficient of subgrade reaction? 8.8 From the plate load test (plate dimensions 1 ft × 1 ft) in the field, the coefficient of subgrade reaction of a sandy soil is determined to be 60 lb/in3. What will be the value of the coefficient of subgrade reaction on the same soil for a foundation with dimensions of 20 ft × 20 ft?How and why the concept of principal stresses is used to measure the strength of soil?A foundation 15 ft x 20 ft is proposed near an existing one, 10 ft x 15 ft as shown in the figure below. Determine the following: (A) The vertical total stress increase at A, B, and C at a depth of 4 ft below the ground surface of the existing foundation before construction of the proposed foundation.(B) The vertical total stress increase at A, B, and C at a depth of 4 ft below the ground surface of the existing foundation from the construction of the proposed foundation.
