Question
1. A is a structure that transmits loads from the superstructure to the underlying soils 2. If pressure is proportional to displacement times a constant (p=k,d), where the constant ks is the modulus of subgrade reaction, what are the units of ks? 3. The is the distance from the ground surface to the base of the foundation. 4. The is the maximum pressure on the soil at failure. 5. If we calculate the allowable bearing pressures for (1) strength and (2) deformation, and the numbers are different, which value should be used for design? 6. List the two design procedures used in North American practice: a. b.Explanation / Answer
1. Footing is the structure that transmits loads from the superstructure to the underlying soils.
2.
Units for ks are kip/in3 (or kN/m3)
