A square column foundation has to carry a gross allowable load of 1605 kN (FS = 3). Given: Dj = 1.7 m, y = 15.9 kN/m°, ø' = 34°, and d= 0. Use Terzaghi's equation to determine the size of the foundation (B). Assume general shear failure. For o' = 34°, Nq = 36.5 and N, 38.04. (Enter your answer to three significant figures.)
