A square footing (2 m x 2 m) is subjected to an inclined point load, P as shown in the figure below. The water table is located well below the base of the footing. Considering one-way eccentricity, the net safe load carrying capacity of the footing for a factor of safety of 3.0 is _______ kN.
The following factors may be used:
Bearing capacity factors: Nq = 33.3, Nγ = 37.16; Shape factors: Fqs = Fγs = 1.314; Depth factors: Fqd = Fγd = 1.113; Inclination factors: Fqi = 0.444, Fγi = 0.02
The following factors may be used:
Bearing capacity factors: Nq = 33.3, Nγ = 37.16; Shape factors: Fqs = Fγs = 1.314; Depth factors: Fqd = Fγd = 1.113; Inclination factors: Fqi = 0.444, Fγi = 0.02
Correct : 439.15
