A 10,000 kN vertical load is applied to the square foundation below. Use safety factor equal to 2 to find the minimum size of the square footing shown below, to resist against bearing capacity failure. Shear modulus of soll is 238 kN/m². No Water exists As part of solution you need to check the soil compressibility and if not met the criteria, you need to consider for the effect of soil compressibility to find the bearing capacity. *******Start from 2x2 m foundation size, if fails in bearing capacity go up in foundation size by any intervals you think you will get the MINIMUM possible size. DO NOT MAKE MORE THAN 2 (Two) TRIALS (including the first try with 2x2 dimensions). IF YOU FIND THE SIZE OF FOUNDATION (in 2 trials) SO THAT BEARING CAPACITY DOES NOT FAIL, PLEASE CLEARLY MARK THE SIZE. IF NOT, PLEASE CLEARLY PUT COMMENT AND EXPLAIN ON WHY YOU WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE SIZE OF FOUNDATION AND WHAT ARE THE OTHER POSSIBLE APPROACHES THAT CAN BE TRIED IN ORDER TO MEET THE BEARING CAPACITY. Use NET allowable bearing capacity value and NOT gross bearing capacity value. • You need to find the net allowable bearing capacity value for any estimated size of foundation and indicate that foundation will/will not fail in bearing capacity. 2 m y = 17 kN/m Friction Angle = 30 Cohesion = 10 KN/m2 B I - 1
