A 1.5 m square footing is founded at a depth of 1m (equal to the foundation thickness) in fine-grained soil with the following properties: Ydry = 20 kN/m³; Ysat = 22 kN/m³; Cu.k = 70 kPa; ck' = 10 kPa; k' = 30° The load on the footing is vertical but has a maximum eccentricity (e) of 250 mm from one axis (Hint: B- = B 2e). If the water table is at the foundation level, determine the design bearing resistance of the footing for a. short-term condition b. long-term condition
