Question Assume that the shear strength parameters of the soil are the same in the previous number, a square footing measuring BXB will be subjected to an allowable gross load of 1000KN with Fs =3
Question A square footing is 2x2m in plan. The soil supporting the foundation has a friction angle ϕ′=25∘,c′=20kN/m2,the unit weight of soil γ=16.5kN/m3. Determine the allowable gross load on the foundation using terzaghi bearing capacity
Coefficient of soil permeability: The results of a constant head permeability test of a fine sand are as follows: area of the soil sample 180sqcm, length of the specimen 32cm, constant head maintained 46cm, flow
Compaction of soil: The maximum and the minimum unit weight of a sand collected from the field were determined in the laboratory as 18.38kn/m^3, respectively. it is required that the sand in the field be
Water content and void ratio in soil: Question Three A sample of saturated clay was placed in a container and weighed. The weight was 6N. The clay in its container was placed in an oven
Effective stresses: In a deposit of fine sand the water table was at 3m below the ground surface but the sand up to a height of 1m above the water table was saturated by capillary
Water pore pressure: For the soil profile given below determine the total and effective stresses at point A. What will be the total, neutral (water pore pressure ) and effective stresses at point if the
Pore pressure in soil For the given soil profile, How high should the water table rise so that the effective stress at C is 190kn/m^3, assume saturation to be the same for both layers as
