Civil Engineering

A rectangular footing 2.0 m by 3.0 m is built in a homogeneousbed of sand of having bulk unit weight 20 kN/m3 andsaturated unit weight 21 kN/m3 with an angle of shearingresistance of (30+Y)o. The depth of the base of footingis 1.8 m below the ground surface and water table is located at adepth of 1.0m below the base of the foundation. Consider the factorof safety of 3. Use Terzaghi’s Analysis

  1. Justify the adequacy of the footing if the proposed design loadon the foundation is 1500kN.                                                                                                                            
  1. Calculate the safe load can be carried by the footing if thewater table is located at a depth 1.0 m below the groundLevel.
