Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFConcept:
Design Load = 1.1 x Unfactored load.
Area required for footing =
Calculation:
Area required for footing =
UnFactored load, P = 1000/1.5 = 666.67 kN
For safe , self-weight is considered as 10 % of load
Adding 10 % of load as self weight = 0.1 ×666.66= 66.66kN
Design load = 666.66 + 66.66 = 733.32 kN
Safe bearing capacity of Soil, q = 150 kN/m2
Area required =Last updated on Mar 27, 2025
-> RRB JE Civil Engineering Exam Dates have been announced on the official website. The CBT 2 Examination is scheduled for 22nd April 2025.
-> The CBT 1 examination was held on 16th, 17th, and 18th December 2024.
-> A total of 7911 vacancies have been announced for the role of Junior Engineer.
-> So this is a great job opportunity for candidates with a Diploma/Engineering background to work for an organization like Indian Railways.
-> The RRB JE exam consists of a two-stage selection process. The first stage will be the Computer Based Test 1 and those who will clear this test will appear for Computer Based Test 2.
