PROBLEM \# 3[25 points]
Given: The spread footing depicted in Figure 1.
Find: Determine the maximum capacity of the footing found in an older building based on the limit states of soil bearing, shear (1-way and 2-way), and flexure if the axial load is assumed to remain within the kern (\(\mathrm{e}\leq \mathrm{L}/6\)). Clearly indicate all assumptions and which of the four limit states governs.
Notes to accompany Figure 1.
- All concrete has \(\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{c}}{}^{\prime}=4000\mathrm{psi}\)
- Steel is Grade 50(\( f_{y}=50\mathrm{ksi}\))
-75 psf factored floor load applied to slab-on-grade
- Allowable soil bearing capacity is 5500 psf
- Soil unit weight is 125 pcf
