A circular footing having a diameter of 1.1 m. has its bottom at a depth of 2.9 m. from the ground surface. The water table is located at a depth of 1.4 m. below the ground. The soil has the following properties: γd = 18.07 kN/m3, γsat = 19.45 kN/m3, c = 15.19 kPa, Nc = 35.04, Nq = 22.05, Nγ = 19.04. Determine the allowable load, in kN, that the footing can carry using factor of safety of 2.5.

Question
A circular footing having a diameter of 1.1 m. has its bottom at a depth of 2.9 m. from the ground surface. The water table is located at a depth of 1.4 m. below the ground. The soil has the following properties: γd = 18.07 kN/m3, γsat = 19.45 kN/m3, c = 15.19 kPa, Nc = 35.04, Nq = 22.05, Nγ = 19.04. Determine the allowable load, in kN, that the footing can carry using factor of safety of 2.5. Round off to two decimal places.
