    A 2m x 2m square footing located 1m below ground level is loaded with an inclined 600 kN load. The soil properties and water table level are given. Using Vesic's method: i) The ultimate carrying capacity of the footing is estimated to be [value] kN. ii) The factor of safety against bearing failure is [value]. iii) The factor of safety against sliding is estimated to be [value]. A second 2m x 2m square footing located 1m below ground is loaded with a 1600 kN vertical load and 200 kNm moment. The water table is at 1m below ground. Using Hensan's method, the factor of safety is

    Q1. A 2m x 2m square footing located at 1m below the ground level is loaded


    with an inclined load as given in the Figure below. The footing is cast in-situ and
    the properties of the soil layers are also given in the Figure. The water table is
    located at 0.5m below the ground surface level.
    600
    kN

    i.
    ii.

    / = 280; c/ = 5
    kPa; bulk = 18
    kN/m3; sat = 20
    kN/m3
    Estimate the ultimate carrying capacity of the footing using Vesics
    method and hence, the factor of safety against bearing failure.
    Estimate the Factor of safety against sliding of the footing.

    (The given load includes the weight of the footing, column load and the weight of
    the soil above the footing)
    Q2. A 2m x 2m square footing at 1m below the ground surface level is subjected
    to a vertical load of 1600 kN and a moment of 200 kNm acting about XX. Water
    table is located at 1m below the ground surface level.

    200 kNm

    1200 kN

    / = 280; c/ = 5
    kPa; bulk = 18
    kN/m3; sat = 20
    kN/m3

    200 kNm
    1200 kN

    Estimate the factor of safety of the footing using Hensans method.


    (The given load includes the weight of the footing, column load and the weight of
    the soil above the footing)
