A 30 x 24 ft mat foundation is to be placed at 9 ft depth in a saturated clay where Cu= 1200 Ib/ft² and - 0. Find the net ultimate bearing capacity.
Problem.№₂3 - The plan of a mat foundation is shown in Figure. Calculate the soil pressure at points A, B, C, D, E, and F. (Note: All column sections are planned to be 0.5 m 3 0.5 m.) All loads shown are factored loads according to ACI 381-11 (2011). 550 KN 2000 KN 5.25 m 2000 KN 550 kN F *K 0.25 m G H 10 m ! B i 660 kN 2000 KN 10 m 2000 KN 660 kN E 600 KN 1600 KN 5.25 m 10 m 1600 KN 470 kN C D *K 0.25 m 9 m 9 m 9 m 0.25 m 0.25 m
Refer to Figure 5.12. For a rectangular foundation on layered sand, given:●● B = 4 ft, L = 6 ft, H = 2 ft, Df = 3 ft●● γ1 = 98 lb/ft3, Φ'1 = 30º, c'1 = 0●● γ2 = 108 lb/ft3, Φ'2 = 38º, c'2 = 0Using a factor of safety of 4, determine the gross allowable load the foundation can carry.
