1.- The figure shows a loaded foundation.
eccentrically. Use an FS of 4 and determine the maximum load.
permissible that the foundation can withstand. Use the method
of the effective area of Meyerhof.
2.- The figure shows a loaded foundation.
excentrically. Use an FS of 4 and determine the maximum load
permissible that the foundation can support. using the method
from Prakash and Saran
3.- For a continuously loaded foundation that is eccentrically loaded on
arena, dimensions B=1.8 m, Df=0.9 m, and e/B=0.12 (eccentricity in a
sense), = 16 kN/m3 and ` =35°. Use the factor method.
reduction to estimate the ultimate load per unit length of the
foundation.
4.- The foundation of a column measures 3 x 2 m in plan. The following is given:
Df=1.5 m, `25°, c`=70 kNYm2. Use equation (3.19) and FS=3 and
determine the allowable net load [see equation (3.15)]
what the foundation can support.
5.- The figure shows a square footing. Use FS = 6
to determine the size of the footing. I used the theory of
Prakash and Saran
6.- In the figure a loaded continuous foundation is shown
excentrically. Determine the ultimate load Qu per length
unit that can support the foundation. Use the method of
reduction factor.
7.- For the design of a shallow foundation, given that
next
Soil:
=25°
C=50 kN/m2
Specific weight, y=17 kN/m3
Elasticity modules, Es=1020 kNYm2
Poisson ratio, μs=0.35
Foundation:
L = 1.5 m
B = 1 m
Df= 1 m.
