SITUATION: Due to construction considerations, a column is located 0.4 m from the edge of a 2m x 2m square footing along its principal axis. The column carries a factored downward load of 900 kN including its own weight. Neglect the weight of footing. Bearing capacity factors: Nc = 17.70 Nq = 7.44 Ny = 3.64 18. Evaluate the overturning moment of the footing, in kN-m. A. 360 B. 420 C. 480 D. 540 19. Evaluate the maximum soil bearing pressure underneath the footing, in kPa. A. 630 B. 750 C. 780 D. 800 20. If the soil has a unit weight of 16 kN/m3, an angle of internal friction of 20⁰ and a cohesion of 10 kPa and footing is founded 1.0 m into the ground, by how much, in percent, is the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil under general shear failure is exceeded? A. 56.6 B. 75.2 C. 89.5 D. 93.4 Thanks for watching! Comment for questions and suggestions for future lecture in this series. Subscribe and hit the bell button to be notified for future posts.
