A7 ft x 10 ft x 2.5 ft (i.e., B x L x h) foundation is expected to carry a vertical load with the eccentricities eB = 25 ft and eL = 3.5 ft. It is placed in a soil with c = 210 lb/ft2, phi = 24°, and gamma = 115 lb/ft3, at 5 ft depth. Assume NW concrete, general shear failure mode for the soil, and LWT. (a) Determine the maximum load the foundation can carry with factor of safety of 2.5. (b) Show the detailed effective bearing area for the foundation A7 ft x 10 ft x 2.5 ft (i.e., B x L x h) foundation is expected to carry a vertical load with the eccentricities eB = 25 ft and eL = 3.5 ft.
