A circular footing is 2.73 meters in diameter. The bottom of the footing is 2.75 m. below the ground surface. Moist unit weight of soil is 17.24 kN/m3, Saturated unit weight is 20.45 kN/m3. Cohesion of soil is 86 kPa. Use Nc = 25.36, Nq = 12.21, Ny = 8.26. If the ground water table is located at a depth of 1.03 meters from the ground surface, determine the allowable bearing capacity (in kPa) that the footing can carry. FS = 3.
