A 2 m wide long footing is located at a depth of 2.5 m from the ground surface. The supporting soil is compressible and has shear strength parameters, c = 30 KN/m2 and angle of shearing resistance 25°. The total unit weight of soil is 18.3 KN/m3 and the water table is at a greater depth. Caclulate the safe load that can be carried by the long footing per meter length of the wall. Use a factor of safety of 3.0.
