Question: Problem 1 0 . 1 1 ( a ) What is the limit bearing capacity ( qbL ) of a strip footing with width B

Problem 10.11
(a) What is the limit bearing capacity (qbL) of a strip footing with width B =1 m on the surface of a sand deposit with DR =70%? The sand has a unit weight equal to 19 kN/m3 and a critical-state friction angle c of 31. Assume the water table to be deep.
(b) What is the limit bearing capacity for relative density of 90%?
(c) What is the limit bearing capacity ignoring the contribution of dilatancy?
Problem 10.12
Consider that the footing of Problem 10.11a is embedded 0.6 m in the ground, that is, D =0.6 m. What is the limit resistance of the footing now?
Problem 10.13
Consider a 1 m square instead of a strip footing on the surface of the soil deposit of Problem 10.11a. What is the limit resistance of the footing? Problem
10.14
Consider that the footing of Problem 1013 is embedded 0.6 m in the ground, that is, D =0.6 m. What is the limit resistance of the footing now?
Problem 10.16
Redo Example 10.13 considering the water table to be located at a depth at the ground surface. Consider the saturated unit weight of the soil to be equal to 22 kN/m3.
