A strip foundation is to be built on a clay slope. The setback of the foundation from the edge of the slope is 0.8m. The height of the slope is 1.5 meters. The slope has an angle of inclination of 30 degrees with respect to horizontal. The bottom of the foundation is 1.6m below ground level. The foundation width is 2.38m. Undrained cohesion is 49.71 kPa. The unit weight of soil is 18 kN/m³. The internal angle of friction of soil is 0. If Meyerhof's bearing capacity factor (Ncq) is 5.45, what is the ultimate load that

Transcribed Image Text:A strip foundation is to be built on a clay slope. The setback of the foundation from
the edge of the slope is 0.8m. The height of the slope is 1.5 meters. The slope has
an angle of inclination of 30 degrees with respect to horizontal. The bottom of the
foundation is 1.6m below ground level. The foundation width is 2.38m. Undrained
cohesion is 49.71 kPa. The unit weight of soil is 18 kN/m³. The internal angle of
friction of soil is 0.
If Meyerhof's bearing capacity factor (Ncg) is 5.45, what is the ultimate load that
the footing can carry (in kN)? Use factor of safety of 3.86.
