Abstract

The problem selected for this report is the design of a typical building footing and retaining wall as generally shown on plates #1 and #2, utilizing the subsequent boring and laboratory information shown on plates #3 and #4. The building is approximately 250 feet long by 130 feet wide and is used to house limestone pebbles 4 inches in diameter and less in size. A typical bay of 25 feet was chosen, the steel frame designed as a 3 hinged arch for the reactions for wind, dead load and live load as tabulated, on plate 2. The 3 hinged arch was chosen to permit reasonable settlements in footing design without collapse of the structure. The roofing and siding enclosing the building frame is corrugated asbestos cement siding.
