2) A machine foundation having an area of Sm x Sm in plan is shown in the figure below. The foundation
soil is uniform sand extending to great depths. The standard penetration resistance of the sand increases
with depth according to the following relationship:
N=S5+15*2,
Where “2” is the depth from ground surface.
1 values are corrected values for overburden pressures and the energy delivered to the rods during SPT i
30%. Calculate the total vertical load including the weight of the foundation and the machinery for
permissible settlement of 40mm using Peck&Hanson&Thornbum criteria:
