Assignment #2// use Graphical Methods Question 1 A rectangular footing of 4.0 [m] * 5.0 [m] on layered subsoil is considered. Footing dimensions and soil layers under the footing with soil constants are shown in Figure 15. It is required to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil under the footing. Question 2 A footing as indicated in Fig 15 is to be loaded as follows Total vertical load, P, = 5000kN SOON Existing: My =2000 kN.m and Mx = -1000 kN.m i, From horizontal loads, My = 500 KN.m_ and Mx = -300 kN.m It the soil profile is given as in the Fig 15, determine the factor of safety.
