Determine the allowable soil pressure for a maximum settle

Reference no: EM13548154

A square footing 6ft by 6ft is to be installed 6ft below ground level on a sand stratum. Standard penetration tests were conducted on the construction site. Tests were corrected for overburden pressures, and the lowest average corrected N-value was determined to be 18. Assuming that groundwater was not encountered, determine the allowable soil pressure for a maximum settlement of 1in. Use Bazaraa's method.
