A wall footing is to be constructed on a clay soil 0.70 m below the ground. The footing is to support a wall that imposes a load of 135 kN per meter of wall length. Considering General shear failure, what footing width should be provided to have a safety factor of 3.0 ∂soil = 17.3 kn/m3 , c = 14 KPa, Nc = 35, Nq = 22, N∂ = 19
