Given that the cohesion in the soil is 17 kPa and the angle of internal friction is 13 degrees, what is the gross allowable load (kN) of the rectangular footing with a width of 1.55 m and a length of 3.17 m. Assume γsoil = 18.40 kN/m3, γsat = 20.42 kN/m3. The axial load is offset 0.54m from the left end of the footing. The depth of the foundation is at 1.40m and the GWT is at 0.79m. Factor of safety is 3.5.
