A column foundation as shown in Figure 2 is 3m x 4m in plan. Given: Df =


2.5m, ' = 100, c' = 25 kN/m2. Using FS = 3, determine the net allowable
load the foundation should carry (Use Meyerhofs equation).
(5 marks)

qall = qu/FS

qu = cNcFcsFcdFci + qNqFqsFqd + 1/2 BNq F sF dF t

Load is vertical so that Fci=Fqi=F i = 1


From table 3.3 :

' = 10,
Nc = 8.35
Nq = 2.47
N = 1.22

Fcs = 1 + (B/L)(Nq/Nc) = 1 + (3/4)(2.47/8.35) = 1.22


Fqs = 1+ (B/L) tan ' = 1+ (3/4) tan 10 = 1.132
F s = 1- 0.4 (B/L) = 0.7
Fqd = 1+ 2 tan ' (1- sin tan ')2 (Df/B) = 2.813
Fcd = Fqd (1- Fqd/Nc tan ') = 2.813 + (1- 2.813/ 8.35 tan 10) = 3.7619
Fd = 1

q = D1 + D2 (sat -w) = 1(16.5) + 1.5 (19.5 9.81) = 31.04

qu = cNcFcsFcdFci + qNqFqsFqd + 1/2 BNq F sF dF t


= ( 25)(8.35)(1.22)(3.7619)(1) + (31.04)(2.47)(1.132)(2.813)(1) +
(1/2)(16.5)(3)(1.22)(0.70)(1)(1)
= 946.37 + 244.14 + 21.14
=1211.65

qall = qu/ FS = 1211.65 / 3 = 403.88
