A strip footing of width 3 m is founded at a depth of 2 m below the ground surface in a soil having a cohesion c = 30 kPa and angle of shearing resistance = 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. (For = 35°, Nc = 57.8, Nq=41.4, and Ny-42.4). Determine the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil in kPa. a. 4159 b. 4379 C. 4325 d. 4259
