A circular footing is 2.81 meters in diameter. The bottom of the footing is 2.88 m. below the ground surface. Moist unit weight of soil is 17.87 kN/m3, Saturated unit weight is 20.26 kN/m3. Cohesion of soil is 92 kPa. Use Nc = 25.3, Nq = 12.19, Ny = 8.64. If the ground water table is located at a depth of 1.4 meters from the ground surface, determine the allowable bearing capacity (in kPa) that the footing can carry. FS = 2. Round off to two decimal places.
