Question: Repeat Problem 17.1 with the following: = 17.7 kN/m 3 , c u = 48 kN/m 2 , = 0 , D

Repeat Problem 17.1 with the following: γ = 17.7 kN/m3, c= 48 kN/m2, ϕ = 0ο, Df = 0.6 m, β = 0.8 m, and factor of safety = 4.

Data From Problem 17.1

A continuous footing is shown in Figure 17.22. Using Terzaghi’s bearing capacity factors, determine the gross allowable load per unit area (qall) that the footing can carry. Assume general shear failure. Given: γ = 115 lb/ft3, c' = 600 lb/ft2, ϕ' = 25ο, Df = 3.5 ft, β = 4 ft, and factor of safety = 3.
