Question

A rectangular footing of 4m × 3m is founded at a depth of 2m below the ground surface in a (C-$) soil having a cohesion c=32 kN/m^2 and angle of shearing resistance, $= 25°. The water table is at a depth of 6m below ground level. The unit weight of soil above the water table is 17 kN/m^3. Determine -(Using Meyerhof's bearing capacity factors)

(1) The ultimate bearing capacity of the soil

(2) The net bearing capacity

(3) The net ultimate bearing pressure

A trectangular footing
of 4mx 3 m is faunded at a depth
Of 2m below the gmound surtface in a (e- $ ) soil
