Question:

Repeat Problem 11.1 based on limit state design, using the factors given in Table 11.4.


Table 11.4.

Category Item Factor Loads: Dead loads 4 = 1.25 Live, wind, or earthquake load y = 1.50 Water pressure y = 1.25 Shear strength: Cohesion (stability, earth pressure) O = 0.65 Cohesion (foundations) O = 0.50 Friction (tan o') O = 0.80


Problem 11.1

A continuous foundation is required in a soil where c' = 10 kN/m2, ϕ' = 26°, and γ = 19.0 kN/m3. The depth of the footing will be 1.0 m. The dead load and the live load are 600 kN/m and 400 kN/m, respectively. Determine the required width for the foundation based on allowable stress design with FS = 3, using Eq. (6.10) and Table 6.1.


Eq. (6.10)
