MARITIME GEOTECHNICS I
HOMEWORK # 10
TOPICS: SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS - PROJECT
Important Note: The homework must be solved using computer programs, unless specifically
indicated.
Prepare a MS Excel spreadsheet for the geotechnical analysis of a spread footing. The spreadsheet
shall be able to perform analyses using the methods presented by Terzaghi, Vesic and Meyerhof,
with all of their features. It should also include an option to activate or deactivate the presence of
groundwater. You are free to use macros or simple cell programming. But the spreadsheet must be
suitable to solve different problems with different geometries and conditions.
You will submit both a PDF copy of your analysis and the EXCEL file of your calculations.
