Redo Problem 16.13 with the following data: gross allowable load = 184,000 lb, = 121 lb/ft3, c = 0, =26, Df = 6.5 ft., and required factor of safety = 2.5. 16.13 A square footing (B B) must carry a gross allowable load of 1160 kN. The base of the footing is to be located at a depth of 2 m below the ground surface. If the required factor of safety is 4.5, determine the size of the footing. Use Terzaghis bearing capacity factors and assume general shear failure of soil. Given: = 17 kN/m3, c = 48 kN/m2, =31.Refer to Problem 16.13. Design the size of the footing using the modified general ultimate bearing capacity Eq. (16.31). 16.13 A square footing (B B) must carry a gross allowable load of 1160 kN. The base of the footing is to be located at a depth of 2 m below the ground surface. If the required factor of safety is 4.5, determine the size of the footing. Use Terzaghis bearing capacity factors and assume general shear failure of soil. Given: = 17 kN/m3, c = 48 kN/m2, = 31.16.16P16.17PRefer to the footing in Problem 16.16. Determine the gross ultimate load the footing can carry using the Patra et al. (2015) reduction factor method for rectangular foundations given in Eqs. (16.47), (16.49), and (16.50). 16.16 A square footing on sand is subjected to an eccentric load as shown in Figure 16.20. Using Meyerhofs effective area concept, determine the gross allowable load that the footing could carry with Fs = 4. Given: = 16 kN/m3, c = 0, = 29, Df = 1.3 m, B = 1.75 m, and x = 0.25 m. Use Eqs. (16.32) through (16.42) for shape, depth, and inclination factors.Figure 16.21 shows a continuous foundation with a width of 1.8 m constructed at a depth of 1.2 m in a granular soil. The footing is subjected to an eccentrically inclined loading with e = 0.3 m, and = 10. Determine the gross ultimate load, Qu(ei), that the footing can support using: a. Meyerhof (1963) method [Eq. (16.52)] b. Saran and Agarwal (1991) method [Eq. (16.53)] c. Patra et al. (2012) reduction factor method [Eq. (16.54)]The following table shows the boring log at a site where a multi-story shopping center would be constructed. Soil classification and the standard penetration number, N60, are provided in the boring log. All columns of the building are supported by square footings which must be placed at a depth of 1.5 m. Additionally, the settlement (elastic) of each footing must be restricted to 20 mm. Since the column loads at different location can vary, a design chart is helpful for quick estimation of footing size required to support a given load. a. Prepare a chart by plotting the variation of maximum allowable column loads with footing sizes, B = 1 m, 1.5 m, 2 m, and 3 m. Use a factor of safety of 3. b. If the gross column load from the structure is 250 kN, how would you use this chart to select a footing size? c. What would be the design footing size for the column in Part (b) if you use Terzaghis bearing capacity equation? For the well graded sand, assume that = 33. Use Fs = 3. d. Compare and discuss the differences in footing sizes obtained in Parts b and c.17.1P17.2P17.3P17.4P17.5P17.6P17.7PRefer to Problem 17.7 and Figure 17.16. Suppose a footing (1.5 m 1.5 m) is constructed at a depth of 1 m. a. Estimate the design values for N60 and . b. What is the net allowable load that the footing can carry? The maximum allowable 17.7 settlement is 25 mm. Use Eqs. (16.56) and (16.61). Refer to the boring log shown in Figure 17.16. Estimate the average drained friction angle, , using the Kulhawy and Mayne correlation [Eq. (17.24)]. Assume pa 100 kN/m2. Figure 17.1617.9P17.10P17.11P17.12P17.13P17.14P17.15P
