Question: A 6 5 0 - k N column load is supported on a 1 . 5 - m wide by 2 . 0 - m

A 650-kN column load is supported on a 1.5-m wide by 2.0-m long by 0.5-m deep spread footing. The soil below is a well-graded, normally consolidated sand with =18.0kNm3 and the following SPT N60 values:
\table[[Depth (m),1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0],[N60,12,13,13,8,22]]
1
ECE 5413 Shallow and Deep Foundation Design
The empirical correlation between Young's modulus E and SPT data can be determined from,
E=0OCR2+1N60
Where 0 and 1 are correlation factors can be determined from the following table.
