Question 3 A continuous concrete footing (yc = 24 kN/m³) of breadth 2.0 m and thickness 0.5 m is to be founded in a clay soil (cu = 22 kPa; y = 19 kN/m³) at a depth of 1.0 m. The footing will carry an applied vertical load of magnitude 85 kN/m run. The load will act on the centre line of the footing. Apply a factor of safety of 1.35 to the permanent action (dead load) and a factor of safety of 1 to the soil material properties and bearing resistance. Verify the bearing resistance limit state under undrained conditions. Is the width appropriate? (Yes- FOS>1).
