Question: A 2 . 3 m 2 . 3 m square footing to carry a 6 5 0 k N load and has its base at

A 2.3m2.3m square footing to carry a 650kN load and has its base at a depth of 1m. The maximum allowable settlement is 2.5cm. The footing is sitting on the sandy soil (5m thick) that has a unit weight of 18.5kNm3 and a saturated unit weight of 20kNm3. If the angle of friction of the soil is 22 degrees and E=40MPa. Check if the bearing capacity and settlement is okay for the following condition:
a) If the water table is at a depth of 4m from the ground level.
NOTE: The load is vertical and centric resting on a horizontal footing on a horizontal surface, also use a Factor of Safety of 2.5.
ANS: Nq=7.822,Sq=1.404,dq=1.14, Ngamma=4.21, Sgamma=0.6, dgamma =1.0.
gallow =121kNm2,DH=12.3m
