    A circular well with a diameter of 8 meters and depth of 25 meters is experiencing seismic loads. The question asks to calculate the foundation pressures at the base of the well given information about loads, soil properties, and permissible pressures. The soil is a mixed type with cohesion of 0.2 kg/cm2, friction angle of 15 degrees, and dry unit weight of 1800 kg/m3. The maximum calculated foundation pressure is less than the allowable 50 tonnes/m2, so the design is considered safe with a factor of safety of 2.0.

    Calculate the foundation pressures at the base of the circular well with the following

    particulars:

    (a) Depth of well – 25.0 m

    (b) Dia of Well = 8.0 m

    (c) Depth below max scour = 12.0 m

    (d) Q = 100 t. acting a; 37.0 m above the base of well under seismic condition.

    (e) W1, = Weight of Superstructure = 850 tonnes.

    (f) W2 = Weight of Pier = 150 tonnes.

    (g) W3 = Weight of Well = 900 tonnes.

    (h) Soil around the well is mixed type having (i) C = 0.2 kg/cm2 (ii) Φ = 15° (iii) ƴ (dry) =
    1,800 kg/m3

    (i) Permissible foundation pressures under seismic condition are 50 tonnes/m2 and no tension.
     

    FOS for sandy and clayey soils under seismic condition arc 1.6 and 2.4 respectively. For a
    mixed soil as in the Illustrative Example FOS may be taken as 2.0.
    Hence safe, as no tension occurs and the maximum foundation pressure is less than the
    allowable foundation pressure of 50.0 tonnes/m2
