Question: A 10 m 6 m mat foundation is placed at 2.0 m depth in sand where the average value of N 60 is 23.

A 10 m × 6 m mat foundation is placed at 2.0 m depth in sand where the average value of N60 is 23. Determine the allowable net pressure that would limit the settlement to 75 mm, using Eqs. (9.47) and (10.14).


Eqs. (9.47)

N60 (B + 0.3 F 25 Inet (kN/m²) (for B > 1.22 m) 0.08 В


Eqs. (10.14)

N60 (B + 0.3 F 25 Inet (kN/m) (for B > 1.22

N60 (B + 0.3 F 25 Inet (kN/m) (for B > 1.22 m) 0.08
