3) A square footing having the dimension of 22 x 22 is to be constructed on a deep clay deposit. Superstructural stress is calculated as 150 kPa. The foundation will rest at the depth of 2 m from the surface. The groundwater table is located on the surface and the saturated unit weight of the clay is 17 kN/m3. Determine the depth of the borehole considering both de Beer's rule and the Turkish Earthquake Code (2018).
