A square footing 2.5 m x 2.5 m is built on a homogeneous bed of sand of unit weight (Y)=19 kN/m³ and friction angle (9)= 36'. If the footing is designed to = 54.0 withstand a safe load of 6000KN, and take N. = 65.4, Ng = 49.4, Ny what depth of foundation is required for the two cases shown below to maintain a factor of safety of 2.5. i) Assuming total dry condition, water table is very deep. ii) Assuming submerged condition; water table is at the ground surface.
