QUESTION $6$: FOUNDATIONS

A paraliel flange H $-$section $356406340k\frac{g}{m}$ wth a length of $4$ m is used as a column which supports an eccentric load of $50$ kN $.$ The load is carried on the $Y-Y$ axis and is $100$ mm outside the flange. The column must be placed on the foundation in such a position that the ground pressure of $30$ kPa is evenly spread underneath the foundation.

Calculate:

$6\mathrm{.}1$ The length of the sides for the square foundation

$(2)$

$6\mathrm{.}2$ The direct stress at the base of the column

$(2)$

$6\mathrm{.}3$ The eccentric distance the column must be placed from the foundation centre

$(4)$

$6\mathrm{.}4$ Make a neat. labelled sketch of the column in the eccentric position

$(4)$
