A strip footing of width 3 m is founded at a depth of 2 m below the ground surface in a (c – 0) soil having a cohesion c = 30 kN/m2 and angle of shearing resistance 0 = 35°. The water table is at a depth of 5 m below ground level. The moist weight of soil above the water table is 17.25 kN/m3. Determine (a) the find ultimate bearing capacity of the soil, (b) the net bearing capacity, and (c) the net allowable bearing pressure and the load/m for a factor of safety of 3. Use the general shear failure theory of Terzaghi

Question

A strip footing of width 3 m is founded at a depth of 2 m below the ground surface in a (c – 0) soil having a cohesion c = 30 kN/m2 and angle of shearing resistance 0 = 35°. The water table is at a depth of 5 m below ground level. The moist weight of soil above the water table is 17.25 kN/m3.
Determine
(a) the find ultimate bearing capacity of the soil,
(b) the net bearing capacity, and
(c) the net allowable bearing pressure and the load/m for a factor of safety of 3. Use the general shear failure theory of Terzaghi
(d) Area of foundation base 

(e)Calculate and analyze whether the design foundation meets the punching and bending
capacity (with reinforcement calculation and analysis)
