Here is how the Load Intensity on Foundation given Settlement equation looks like.

0.835 = (5 \cdot 10) \cdot (1 + \frac{2 \cdot 15.2}{2}) + (\frac{5 \cdot 10}{2})

0.835MPa = (5mm \cdot 10) \cdot (1 + \frac{2 \cdot 15.2m}{2m}) + (\frac{5mm \cdot 10}{2m})

0.835 = (5 \cdot 10) \cdot (1 + \frac{2 \cdot 15.2}{2}) + (\frac{5 \cdot 10}{2})

Load Intensity on Foundation given Settlement Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Load Intensity on Foundation given Settlement?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

q f = (Δ \cdot C 1) \cdot (1 + \frac{2 \cdot D}{B}) + (\frac{Δ \cdot C 2}{B})

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

q f = (5mm \cdot 10) \cdot (1 + \frac{2 \cdot 15.2m}{2m}) + (\frac{5mm \cdot 10}{2m})

Next Step Convert Units

∴

q f = (0.005m \cdot 10) \cdot (1 + \frac{2 \cdot 15.2m}{2m}) + (\frac{0.005m \cdot 10}{2m})

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

q f = (0.005 \cdot 10) \cdot (1 + \frac{2 \cdot 15.2}{2}) + (\frac{0.005 \cdot 10}{2})

Next Step Evaluate

∴

q f = 835000Pa

LAST Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

q f = 0.835MPa
