The bearing capacity of square footing (Length x Width = x x x m) is higher than strip footing (Width x m) under similar conditions (True/False) 4. Bending moment of x kNm increases the ultimate bearing capacity of strip footing having a width of x m (True/False) 5. Shape factors for square footing with inclined loading should always be set to 1.0 (True/False) Please explain in detail.
