PLEASE ANSWER

1. Find the allowable bearing capacity of soil as shown below using Terzaghi's bearing
capacity for general shear failure when:
a.) Footing is 2.5 m square and water table is located at the interface of Soil 1 and Soil 2.
b.) Footing is 2.5 m diameter and water table is located 5 m below the ground surface
FS = 3.0
G.S.
Soil 1: dry soil
1.5 m
Sg = 2.60 e = 0.90
Soil 2: MC= 25%
2.5 m
S.P = 2.75 e= 0.80
O= 35°
C= 8 kPa

janet c.
2.5 m
Soil 3:
figure 1
SR = 2.85 e = 0,70
