A rectangular footing, with a plan area of 1-4mx2·0m is to be placed 2m below the ground surface. The footing would be subjected to a load inclined at 10° to the vertical. The subsoil is clayey, sandy silt with saturated unit weight of 18 kN /m3, and c' = 10kN/m2 and cp' = 30°. Assuming the rate of loading is such that drained condition prevailed, compute the magnitude of load carrying capacity of the footing if. the water table is at the base of the footing. Use IS: 6403-1981 recommendation and assume factor of safety= 3·0.
Correction: Round off your answer to the nearest multiple of ten. * A 3.2 m x 3.2 m square footing has a load of 1200 kg. From the bottom of the footing, an 8 m thick sand lies on top of a 2.8 m clay layer. The foundation is 1500 mm deep. The clay layer has LL = 48 and e = 0.95. The saturated densities of sand and clay are 1860 kg/m³ and 1760 kg/m³ respectively. Q: If the water level rises just to the ground surface and using the 2:1 method, what is the primary consolidation settlement of the clay in mm? Round off your answer to the nearest value of ten.
