A square footing 4m * 4 m is founded at a depth of 7 m below the ground surface in a soil having 39 kN/m² cohesion and 38°angle of shearing resistance. The water table is at a depth of 7 m below ground level. The dry unit of soil is soil is 15 KN/m³ and the saturated unit weight of the soil is 19 kN/m³. Determine the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil.
