A square footing has a dimension of 1.2 m and has its bottom 1 m below the ground surface. The soil has the following properties: p = 1846 ,c = 1605 ,Ø = m² m3 30°, Psat = 1965 . Use Terzaghi's bearing capacity constants: Nc=35, Nq=22 and Ny=19. a. If the ground water table is located at a depth of 1.2 m below the ground surface, compute the allowable load that the footing could carry if it has a factor of safety of 3. b. Find the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil if the ground water table is at the bottom of the footing. c. Find the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil if the ground water table is 0.5 m above the bottom of the footing.
