2. Please find the possible solutions for this question! A foundation 4 m x 5 m transfers a total load of 5 MN to stiff overconsolidated clay with an OCR=4 and ysar=19 kN/m (given figure below). Groundwater level is at 1 m below the ground surface. A CU test was conducted on a soil sample taken at a depth 5 m below the center of the foundation. The results obtained are (cu.)p = 40 kPa, o', = 28, and 'es= 24. Determine if the soil will reach the failure state for short- term and long-term loading conditions. If the soil does not reach the failure state, what are the factors of safety for short-term and long-term loading conditions? Assume the soil above the groundwater level is saturated.
