Problem 1: A 4' wide continuous, 2' deep spread footing is positioned 10' behind the top of a 40' tall, 20o descending slope. The soil has the following properties: γ = 100pcf, ? = 30o, cu = 2ks f.
The groundwater table is at a great depth. Compute the ultimate design load the footing in concentric load per unit length of wall. Comment on the design. What design method would be the most appropriate?
