A 4-foot square footing has its bottom 2.24 ft. below the ground surface. The ground water table is located at a depth of 4 ft. below the ground surface. Unit weight of soil is 113 lb/ft3, Saturated unit weight is 123 lb/ft3, cohesion = 90 lb/ft2. Use angle of internal friction = 30° (Nc = 35.7, Nq = 29.7, N = 19.0). Compute the allowable load (in lb) that the footing could carry. Use FS = 2.4.

Provide an example of how processing, of a specific material of your choosing, can influence the structure of the material which in turn can impact properties. Give an example of how that property could impact performance of that material in an application. Be specific with your example by including the material type, the processing involved, the structural changes, and specific properties that are being influenced. Be clear in how one thing impacts the other. You MUST use relevant equations, graphs, or sketches to support your example (do not use only words).
