    Using the Bearing Capacity equation from the Egyptian code, the maximum column load allowed on a 1.5m x 2m rectangular footing placed at a depth of 1.5m in a clayey sand with a cohesion of 10 kPa and an angle of internal friction of 32 degrees is calculated to be 1392.6 kN. The footing factors, soil properties, and dimensions are input into the bearing capacity equation to determine the net allowable pressure, which is then multiplied by the footing area to obtain the maximum column load.

    ln a clayey sand with c' = l0 kPa, ' =32o, and γ = 18kN/m3, a 1.5m × 2.

    0m
    rectangular footing is placed at a depth of 1.5 m. The water table lies well below the
    foundation level. Using the B.C. equation of the Egyptian code, what is the
    maximum column load allowed on this footing?

    Solution

    𝐪𝐮𝐥𝐭 = 𝐜𝐍𝐜 𝛌𝐜 + 𝐪𝐍𝐪 𝛌𝐪 + 𝛄′ 𝐁𝐍𝛄 𝛌𝛄


    C = 10 kN/m2
    𝞍 = 32o 𝜸 = 18 kN/m3
    𝞍 = 32o
    𝐍𝐜 = 37, 𝐍𝐪 = 25, 𝐍𝛄 = 15
    C = 10 kN/m2
    𝑩 𝟏.𝟓
    𝛌𝐜 = 𝛌𝐪 = 1 + 0.3 ( )……… 𝛌𝐜 = 𝛌𝐪 = 1 + 0.3 ( ) = 1.225
    𝑳 𝟐
    𝑩 𝟏.𝟓
    𝛌𝛄 = 1 − 0.3 ( ) …………... 𝛌𝛄 = 1 − 0.3 ( ) = 0.775
    𝑳 𝟐
    2
    q = 𝜸 . 𝑫𝒇 = 18 × 1.50 = 27 kN/m
    𝛄′ = 𝛄𝐬𝐮𝐛 = 8 kN/m3
    B = 1.50 m
    𝐪𝐮𝐥𝐭 = 10×37×1.225 + 18×1.5×25×1.225 + 8×1.5×15×0.775 = 1419.625 kN/m2
    𝒒𝒖𝒍𝒕,𝒏𝒆𝒕 = 𝒒𝒖𝒍𝒕 − q = 1419.625 − 18 × 1.5 = 1392.625 kN/m2
    𝒒𝒖𝒍𝒕,𝒏𝒆𝒕
    𝒒𝒂𝒍𝒍,𝒏𝒆𝒕 = = 464.20 kN/m2
    𝟑

    𝐏𝐜𝐨𝐥 = 𝐪𝐚𝐥𝐥,𝐧𝐞𝐭 × Area =464.20 × 1.50 × 2 = 1392.6 kN
