Consider the strip footing shown in the figure below. The soil consists of sand with ’ =30° and c’=0 kPa, γmoist = 17 kN/m3 and γsat = 20 kN/m3. The water table is 1.5 m below the ground surface. Calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation in kPa using the modified bearing capacity equation. Assume that the foundation is subject to a vertical load with no eccentricity .
