Transcribed Image Text:O 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.
® Find the ultimate bearing capacity of the
soil if the ground water table is at the
bottom of the footing.
3 Find the ultimate bearing capacity of the
soil if the ground water table is 0.5 m.
above the bottom of the footing.
Ans. 582.86 kN, 1201.14 kPa, 1106.07 kPa
