Q5. A square footing of size 3m3m is founded at a depth of 2 m below the ground surface in a c- soil. The water table is at 3 m below ground level. Assume the soil above water table to be dry. Determine the allowable load (Qallow) with a factor of safety =2.5? Use general bearing capacity equation. Assume general shear failure. (8M)
Q6. A pile foundation comprised of 20 piles arranged in 5 columns and 4 rows at distances of 90 cm center to center has to be constructed. The diameter and lengths of the piles are 30 cm and 9 m respectively. The pile group passes through a recently constructed fill. The depth of fill is 3 m . If the soil is cohesive with cohesion as 30kNm2 and unit weight of 15kNm3. Compute the negative frictional load on the pile group. Consider =0.75.(8M)
Q7. A precast concrete pile of 300 mm diameter and length of 10 m was driven by a double acting steam hammer of weight 26.5 kN dropping from a height of 2.25 m . The average penetration recorded in the last 5 blows was 3.175mm? blow. Consider coefficient of restitution =0.4, hammer fall efficiency =0.85, Total elastic compression of pile cap, pile and soil =5.08mm. Unit weight of concrete =24kNm3, Factor of Safety =6. Calculate the allowable load bearing capacity of the pile by Modified Hiley Formula. (8M)
