Principles of Foundation Engineering 8th Edition Das Solutions Manual 1

This document provides solutions to example problems from Chapter 5 of the textbook "Principles of Foundation Engineering" by Das. It includes step-by-step working of 8 example problems involving calculation of bearing capacity of shallow foundations under different soil and geometry conditions using equations presented in the chapter. The solutions show determination of factors, ultimate bearing capacities, and total allowable bearing capacities for each example. Key parameters like soil type, friction angle, depth, width, cohesion are varied in the examples.

Eq. (5.66):
Q = A(F *c + D ) = (1.2  2.4)[(0.275)(8.28)(74) + (18)(2)]  589 kN
