Assignment Bearing Capacity Prob. 1 A square footing 2m x 2m, is to be founded at « depth of Im below the surface of a deep stratum of soft saturated clay (unit weight = 20 kN/m’), UU triaxial test established the following soil pa = 0°, cy = 25 kPa. ‘The footing is to support a column load of 300 KN load. Determine the factor of safety against bearing capacity failure using Terzaghi method for the followi ases wrt GWT i) the ground water table is at greater depth. ii) the ground water table is at 2 m below the ground surface iii) the ground water table is at 0.5 m below the surface Prob. 2 ‘A square footing rests on a thick deposit of clayey soil with undrained shear strength, Su=30 kPa. The footing is located 1.5 m below the ground surface to carry a total loud of 1000 KNs The unit weight of the clay is 18 kN/m?. The ground water tabie is at a greater depth, Determine the required footing dimensions using Terzaghi method and FS_3. Prob. 3 ‘A proposed column is to be supported by a 1.5 m wide and 1.0 m deep square footing. The soil beneath the footing is silty sand with €~0, ¢=29" and unit weight of 17.5 KNAn*. The ground water table is at a depth of $ m below the base of the footing, Compute the maximum allowable column load (from super structure) against FS=3 using Terzaghi equation, Prob. 4 ‘A 39 inch wide 24 inch deep continuous footing supports a wall load of | footing is underlain by a fine to medium sand with ¢-0, § 32° and unit wei pet. The ground currently could rise to 4 fi below the ground surf safety against bearing method ip/fi, the of 120 a depth of 10 ft below the ground surface but : during the life of the project. The factor of pacity must be at least 3. Is this design acceptable? use Terzaghi Prob. 5 A proposed cylindrical stecl water tank is to be built on medium plastic clay that has undrained shear sirength of 30 kPa. The tank dia will be 35 m and it will contain 10 m height of water. The empty weight of the tank will be 250, 000 kg. Assuming both the weigh of the empty tank and that of the water are spread evenly along the bottom of the tank. Compute the factor of safety against bearing capacity failure. Is this FS acceptable? If not, how the design could be modified to provide an acceptable FS. You may use Terzaghi method25 owable total load of 250 KN. |), uy a gross al an angle of 20° to the verticy) f safety of 3.
