1. Please find the possible solutions for this question! As shown in figure given below, a spread footing is planned to support a column. The load on the column, including the weight of the foundation, is 2000 kN. The foundation is also subjected to a horizontal load that causes an overturning moment of 200 kNxm. The foundation is in silty sand. Subsurface exploration and laboratory testing found that the soil's effective cohesion is 25 kN/m? and the effective friction angle is 22. The groundwater table is 1.5m below the ground surface. The bulk unit weight above the groundwater table is 16.5 kN/m; the saturated unit weight below the groundwater table is 17.5 kN/m'. The foundation embedment is 0.6m, and dimension is B x B = 1.2m x 1.2m. Calculate the factor of safety for the bearing capacity using Terzaghi approach! Please discuss the details of your findings!

Estimate the ultimate consolidation settlement under the centerline of a 15 X 15 m mat foundation. The mat is 1 m thick reinforced concrete and the average stress on the surface of the slab is 75 kPa. The soil profile is shown below. Oedometer tests on samples of the clay provide these average values. ’p = 130 kPa, Cc = 0.40, Cr = Cs = 0.03 Neglect any settlements due to the sand layer. Please and thank you!! :)
