Question

Calculate the factor of safety of a square footing with a moment in one axis. Use Terzaghi’s equations assuming general shear failure and Meyerhof's solution for eccentric loading. The loads shown are not factored.

P= 135 T (50%DL, 50%LL)
M= 18 T-m
(50%DL, 50%LL)-
USCS classification: SM
c = 0
$ = 34°
y = 1.75 T/m?
7.5 m
B = 1.5 m
Dz = 3.5 m
