5. Soil exploration was conducted at a site in Greater Noida for the determination of bearing capacity of a square raft foundation of size 20 m to be placed at a depth of 4.5 m below the ground surface. SPT data of a borehole has been given in Table 1. Water table has been encountered at 6 m below the ground surface. Find out the corresponding corrected value of SPT resistance. Assume Ybulk = 18.5 kN/m³.
