Question: The applied load on a shallow square foundation makes an angle of 208 with the vertical. Given: B = 1.52 m, D f = 0.9

The applied load on a shallow square foundation makes an angle of 208 with the vertical. Given: B = 1.52 m, Df = 0.9 m, γ = 18.08 kN/m3, ϕ' = 258, and c' = 28.75 kN/m2. Use FS = 4 and determine the gross inclined allowable load. Use Eq. (6.28).


Eq. (6.28)

qu = c'N,FeFcaFeci + qN„FqsFqaFqi + >yBN,F,„FyaFyi + ŻYBN,F,FydFy %3D cst cd' ci

qu = c'N,FeFcaFeci + qNFqsFqaFqi + >yBN,F,FyaFyi + YBN,F,FydFy %3D cst cd' ci
