A concrete foundation 3 m wide, 9 m long and 0.75 m thick is to be founded at a depth of 1.5 m in a deep deposit of dense sand. The angle of shearing resistance of the sand is 35° and its unit weight is 19 kN/m². The unit weight of concrete is 24 kN/m³. Using the working stress design approach with a factor of safety, Fs = 3.0: Determine the safe bearing capacity of the sand deposit under the prevailing conditions. Determine the safe bearing capacity of the foundation if it is subjected to a vertical load of 2200 kN and a horizontal load of 500 kN. The resulting eccentricity is 0.3 m in the foundation width (B) direction QpC
