Question: Q 1 . Consider a continuous foundation of width B = 1 . 5 m on a sand deposit with C ' = 0 ,

Q1. Consider a continuous foundation of width B=1.5m on a sand deposit with C'=0,'=
26, and =18.5kNm3. The foundation is subjected to an eccentrically inclined load
(Figure 1). Given: load eccentricity (e)=0.15m,Df=1.8m, and load inclination ()=18.
Estimate the ultimate load Qu(ei) per unit length of the foundation (use table 1).
A. For a partially compensated type of loading (using Meyerhof's effective area method)
B. For a reinforced type of loading.
