2 3. For a cohesive-frictional soil with unit weight,
\gamma =17k(N)/(m^(3))
, soil cohesion,
c^(')=10kPa
, friction angle,
\phi ^(')=30\deg
, the strip foundation is 3 m wide. A vertical design load P of 300 kN and a moment,
M_(B)
of 60 kNm per m of the foundation length are applied at the central location of the strip foundation. The soil-foundation interface is perfectly smooth. The strip foundation is embedded at a depth,
D_(f)
of 2 m . The groundwater table is deep, and its effects can be ignored. Determine the ultimate bearing load,
Q_(u)
of the strip foundation. 20marks Note:
F_(\phi d)=1+2tan\phi ^(')(1-sin\phi )^(2)(D_(f))/(B)
F_(cd)=F_(\alpha d)-(1-F_(\phi d))/(N_(c)tan\phi )
F_(xd)=1
All other correction factors equal to 1
