ABSTRACT
Example 14.4 Figure Ex. 14.4 gives a foundation beam with the vertical loads and moment acting thereon. The width of the beam is 0.70 m and depth 0.50 m. A uniform load of 16 kN/m (including the weight of the beam) is imposed on the beam. Draw (a) the base pressure distribution, (b) the shear force diagram, and (c) the bending moment diagram. The length of the beam is 8 m.
