A square foundation of 1.5 m per side is founded on a soil with a friction angle of ϕ'=28°, c' =20 kN/m2, specific weight of the soil of 17 N/m3 and the specific weight of the saturated soil. of 18.5 kN/m3. Determine the allowable bearing capacity on the foundation with a factor of safety (FS) of 3. Assume that the depth of the water table is 1.2 m and the depth of the foundation is 2.1 m and that a local soil shear failure occurs. . Solve using the theory of Terzaghi and Meyerhof, compare the results.
