A circular footing having a diameter of 2.5 m is supported by a soil (dense sand) with the following properties: O = 20° c = 50 kPa Y = 18 kN/m3 Ysat = 20 kN/m3 The bottom of the footing is 1.5 m below the ground surface. GWT is located at the bottom of the footing. Using Terzaghi's equation, determine the net allowable bearing capacity with factor of safety with respect to shear failure of 3.0. Use Yw = 9.81 kN/m3.
