Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 16.3P

Determine the maximum column load that can be applied on a 1.5 m × 1.5 m square foundation, placed at a depth of 1.0 m within a soil, where γ = 19.0 kN/m3, c′ = 10 kN/m2 and ϕ = 24 ° . Allow a factor of safety of 3.0.

A continuous foundation having a width of 1.4 m is supported by a saturated clay layer of limited depth underlain by a rock layer. Given that Df = 1 m, H = 0.7 m, cu = 105 kN/m2, and γ = 18 kN/m3, estimate the ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation.
Calculate the settlement under the center of a flexible foundation 4 m by 4 m due to volume distortions occurring in a saturated clay stratum but where rock exists at a depth 8 m below the foundation. The clay shear strength c is 60 kPa. The total foundation loading imposed onto the soil is 2,400 kN.
For an eccentrically loaded continuous foundation on sand, given B = 1.8 m, Df = 0.9 m, e/B = 0.12 (one-way eccentricity), γ = 16 kN/m3, and Φ' = 35°. Using the reduction factor method [Eq. (4.60)], estimate the ultimate load per unit length of the foundation.
