Question 4
[25 marks]
4.1 A variable action has an unfavourable magnitude of Qx=1000kV. Considering design approach 1- combination 1 with a partial factor of safety, rQ=1.5, determine the design value of the action.
4.2 Determine the design value of a shallow foundation if the characteristics angle of shearing resistance is O?k'=40 with a corresponding partial of safety of 0'=1.25.(5)
4.3 A concrete foundation is to be cast into a soil deposit, The foundation has a representative's permanent action of Gk=1500kN,Qk=900kN. If the self-weight, w of the foundation is 90kN. Determine the design action values using DA-1:C-2.(5)
4.4 A rectangular pad footing with design bearing pressure qEd of 690kPa, if the design resistance value is qRd of 1050kPa determine the percentage at which the foundation will utilize its efficiency.
4.5 A 2.52.5m squared footing with characteristic self-weight is WGk of 47kN is founded on the dry sand. If the permanent and variable actions of Gk=1500kN,Qk=800kN is acting at the center of the foundation. Considering DA-2, calculate the design bearing pressure qBd.
