A 2.0m wide continuous foundation carries a wall load of 350 kN/m in a clayey soil where y 19,0 kN/m', c'= 5 kN/m2 and '= 23°. The foundation depth is 1.5 m. Determine the factor of safety of this foundation.

The landfill volume required for dry solid waste generated by a food factory per year is 300 m3. After drying the wet solid waste from the factory X% of it is recycled, followed by 2.5X% diversion for composting and 400 m3 for incineration, before the remainder is sent to the landfill. Using the information given below:
Density of dry solid waste = 460 kg/m3
Daily generation of wet solid waste = 2200 kg
Moisture content of the wet solid waste = 32%
(ii) Determine X% and estimate the dimensions of the landfill site if the length: width : depth = 6:5:4
