weight of sand from 0 to a depth od 6m is 18kN/m3 , and the saturated
unit weight of sand or depth 6 to 12m is 20.2kN/m3. Use the
relationship of Skempton given in Eq. (2.12) to calculate the corrected
penetration numbers.

:Problem 3
The shallow shown in figure 3.19 measure 1.2 x 1.8 m and is
subjected to a centric load and moment. If e B =0.12 m, e l=0.36 m, and
depth of the foundation is 1 m, determine the allowable load the
foundation can carry. Use a factor of safety of 3. For the soil, we
are told that unit weight γ =17 KN /m 3, friction angle ∅ ' =30 ,and
cohesion c ' =0.

Refer to figure 4.2, Given : B = L= 1.75m , Df=1m, H=1.75m , ø' = 30● ,
C'=0 , and y=17kN/m3. Using equation 4.6 and FS=4, determine the
gross allowable load the foundation can carry.

Solution :
q = DF x r = 1 x 17 = 17 KN/m2
H/B = 1.75 / 1.75 = 1m
Nq = 35
