At a construction site located in Tanay, the soil (medium dense) is found to have the following properties: cohesion = 6 kPa, Unit weight of soil = 14.7 kN/m and angle of internal friction is 22 degrees. If a circular isolated footing is to be embedded at a depth of 2m, with a diameter of 2.2m, calculate the net allowable load that the footing can carry. FS=2.5 Answer is 280.59 kN (Complete Solution)

Question
At a construction site located in Tanay, the soil (medium dense) is found to
have the following properties: cohesion = 6 kPa, Unit weight of soil = 14.7
kN/m³ and angle of internal friction is 22 degrees. If a circular isolated
footing is to be embedded at a depth of 2m, with a diameter of 2.2m,
calculate the net allowable load that the footing can carry. FS=2.5
Answer is 280.59 kN (Complete Solution)
