QUESTION 22.3 Gross allowable load Qall
2.4 The factor of safety and state whether foundation is safe
Figure Q2: Rectangular footing
A rectangular footing of 2.5m3.0m has a foundation depth of 1.5 m as shown in the
Figure Q2 below. The footing has an eccentricity e=0.35m and a maximum base
pressure of qmax=410kNm2. The soil foundation has a cohesion value of 30kNm2,
an angle of internal friction of 30,O?=30,Nc=30.14,Nq=18.4,N=15.7 and a
saturated unit weight of sat=21kNm3. Consider the effects of groundwater table, use
Meyerhof bearing capacity to calculate the following:
