Determining Of Ground Response Limits

Task. Part A. Determining of ground response limits. Determine yielding limit Ry. Determine bearing capacity limit Ru. Determining relative elastic-plastic response limit Rb, id. Est. Allowing development of plastic zones to depth z=B. Creating illustrative relative response p versus s (loading versus settlement) graph. Part B. Determining settlement of footing. Determining magnitude of concentrated centrically loaded force F, applied onto top o footing and corresponding response limit Rb. Determining settlement of footing subjected by identified force F applying summatio method.

Determining relative elastic-plastic response limit R0.25b, id. est.25B;

Creating illustrative relative response p versus s (loading versus settlement) graph:

Determining magnitude of concentrated centrically loaded force F, applied onto top o footing and corresponding response limit R0.25b;

Determining settlement of footing subjected by identified force F applying summatio method.

Given: Shallow centrically loaded footing embedded in homogenous soil. Individual data:

2. Breadth of footing B= 2 m; Length of footing L = 2,8m;

3. Soil unit weight under and below footing: = 22 kN/m3;

5. Soil angle of internal friction: = 50 – No. 7 = 43(degrees).
