Repeat Problem 6.11 using Prakash and Saran’s method.


Problem 6.11

An eccentrically loaded foundation is shown in Figure P6.11. Use FS of 4 and determine the maximum allowable load that the foundation can carry. Use Meyerhof’s effective area method.


Figure P6.11.

(Eccentricity in one direction only) Y = 17 kN/m c' = 0 o'= 36° e = 0.15 m %3D 1.0 m 1.5 m x 1.5 m Centerline

(Eccentricity in one direction only) Y = 17 kN/m c' = 0 o'= 36 e = 0.15 m %3D 1.0 m 1.5 m x 1.5 m Centerline
