Monolithic Pad Footing Bearing Capacity
Monolithic Pad Footing Bearing Capacity
(OP)
I'd like to calculate the maximum capacity of a monolithic pad footing including the sloped sides and any acceptable portion of the slab on grade.
Specs:
4'x4'x16" deep
sloped sides are 45 degrees
4" slab on grade
I typically wouldn't consider using the sloped sides or the slab on grade, but I was curious to know how much a footing such as this can actually support. I normally would only use the 4'x4' area of 16 sq.ft.
I believe that the Hansen method is appropriate for this calculation.?
Thanks

c = 0
phi = 32 degrees
weight = 115 psf
Typical soil allowable bearing cpacity = 2500 psf

I am curious to know what the soil bearing capacity would be.
I know it isn't common practice to use the sloped sides or the slab...but what if one wanted to?
