Question: The allowable column load ) in tons on a square foundation of width ( B ) in feet is given by the set of equations:

The allowable column load ) in tons on a square foundation of width (B) in feet is given by the set of equations:
Qallow=cFcsFcdNcFSB2,
Fcs=1+NqNc, and
Fcd=1+0.4DfB.
For this problem use the bisection method to find the optimal foundation width (to the nearest 1 in) when the footing is subjected to a column load of 100 ton. Assume that: FS=3,c=1200psf,Df=3ft,Nq=1, and Nc=5.14.[Course Objectives: #1, #2, and #5]
