A square footing which carries an axial load of 132530 kg has its bottom resting on a ground water table at a depth of 2.5 m from the ground surface. Nc = 35, Nq = 22, Nγ = 19. Take PDRY = 1846 kg/m3 and PSAT = 1965 kg/m3, C = 1605 kg/m2. (Nc = 35, Nq = 22, Nγ = 19). Compute the required width of the footing using a factor of safety of 3.
