edo Problem $1.,$ using Meyerhoffs BC equation below and use appropriate shape, and

depth factors. Mention Table$/$charts referred in solutionProblem $1$:

For a continuous foundation, the following are given:

a$.B=4ft,D_f=3ft,=110l\frac{b}{f}{t}^3,{}^{\text{'}}=25,c^{\text{'}}=600l\frac{b}{f}{t}^2$

b$.B=2m,D_f=1m,=17k\frac{N}{m^3},{}^{\text{'}}=30,c^{\text{'}}=0$

Use Terzaghi's equation and a factor of safety of $4$ to determine the gross al$-$

lowable vertical load$-$bearing capacity. Assume that general shear failure oc$-$

curs in soil.

Problem $2$:

Redo Problem $1.,$ using Meyerhoffs BC equation below and use appropriate shape, and

depth factors. Mention Table$/$charts referred in solution.

$q_u=c^{\text{'}}{N}_c{F}_{cs}{F}_{cd}{F}_{ci}+q{N}_q{F}_{qs}{F}_{qd}{F}_{qi}+\frac{1}{2}B{N}_{}{F}_s{F}_d{F}_i$The shallow foundation measures shown in Figure $3\mathrm{.}13$ are $4ft6ft$ and is

subjected to a centric load and a moment. If $e_B=0\mathrm{.}4ft,e_L=1\mathrm{.}2ft,$ and the

depth of the foundation is $3ft,$ determine the allowable load the foundation

can carry. Use a factor of safety of $4.$ For the soil, we are told that unit weight

$=115l\frac{b}{f}{t}^3,$ friction angle ${}^{\text{'}}=35,$ and cohesion $c^{\text{'}}=0.$ Use the bearing

capacity, shape, and depth factors given in by meyerhoff's BC equation.
