Question:

The shallow foundation shown in Figure 6.25 measures 1.5 m × 2.25 m and is subjected to a centric load and a moment. If eB = 0.12 m, eL = 0.36 m, and the depth of the foundation is 0.8 m, determine the allowable load the foundation can carry. Use a factor of safety of 4. For the soil, we are told that unit weight γ = 17 kN/m3, friction angle ϕ' = 35°, and cohesion c' = 0. Use Eqs (6.75), (6.76), and (6.77).


Eqs (6.75).

A' = L, + L)B

Eqs (6.76).

Eqs (6.77).
