Question: Repeat Problem 11.1 based on LRFD using the following factors: load factor for dead load = 1.25 load factor for live load = 1.75 strength
Repeat Problem 11.1 based on LRFD using the following factors:
load factor for dead load = 1.25
load factor for live load = 1.75
strength reduction factor on the ultimate bearing capacity = 0.50
Problem 11.1
A continuous foundation is required in a soil where c' = 10 kN/m2, ϕ' = 26°, and γ = 19.0 kN/m3. The depth of the footing will be 1.0 m. The dead load and the live load are 600 kN/m and 400 kN/m, respectively. Determine the required width for the foundation based on allowable stress design with FS = 3, using Eq. (6.10) and Table 6.1.
Eq. (6.10)
