Question

A 1.5m diameter footing is to be constructed 1.22m below the ground surface. The subsoil consists of a uniform deposit of dense soil having angle of internal friction=25deg, unconfined compressive strength=96KPa, unit wt of soil= 20.12kPa.

a. Compute the gross allowable bearing capacity using terzaghi's equation with factor of safety of 3.Nc=24.1, Nq=13.1, Ny=9.1.

b. Compute the ultimate bearing capacity using terzaghi's equation.Nc=24.1, Nq=13.1, Ny=9.1.

c. Compute the total allowable load including footing,column,weight of soil surcharge that the footing can carry using terzaghi's equation with factor of safety of 3. Nc=24.1, Nq=13.1, Ny=9.1.
