A 2.5m x 4m x 0.9m (i.e., B x L x h) foundation is expected to carry a vertical load with eccentricities ea -0.75 m and e.- 1.1 m. It is placed in a soil where c- 15 kN/m², -28°, and y = 18.5 kN/m³, at 1.75 m depth. NW concrete with the mass density of 2400 kg/m³. The failure mode for the soil is general shear. G.W.T. is low. (a) Determine the maximum load the foundation can carry with factor of safety of 2.5. (b) Determine and show the effective bearing area for the foundation Summary (P2) (Note: This table must be completed with detailed calculations preceded; or no grade will be given) Part a Ultimate bearing capacity q (kN/m²)) [20] Net ultimate bearing capacity gat (kN/m²)) [5] Max. permissible load to be carried by the foundation (kN) [15] Part b Diagram for the effective bearing Max. foundation load allowed, R (KN)) [10] Max. foundation pressure, mas (kN/m²)) [10] area [20] To be shown in the calculation body with detailed supporting calculations Precision Required: 0) To 3rd decimal pt.
