A continuous footing installed at a depth of 3 feet with base of 4 feet wide is constructed on cohesionless soil with a unit weight of 125 lb/ft and an angle of internal friction of 31°. The factor of safety requirement for the design is 2. The water table is sufficiently below the base of the foundation that won't interfere with the design. Determine: 1. Allowable bearing capacity (9₁) 2. Allowable wall load in lb/ft. Plb
