The width of a strip footing is 2 m. The base of will be placed 1.0 m below the level of surrounding
ground surface. A minimum factor of safety of 2.5 is required in the undrained condition. Soil around
the footing is stiff clay with an unconfined compression strength (UCS) of 120 kPa. Immediately after
applying the load, the undrained friction angle of soil is zero. The total unit weight of soil is 18.2 kN/m³.
The ground is flat, the base of footing is horizontal and the vertical load is applied with 0.2 m
eccentricity to the foundation. The water table is at the footing base. A horizontal load (H) of 50 kPa
is applied at the base of the footing parallel to the footing base. Assume (ca = 0.7cu).
Find the allowable vertical load in kN per metre run, including the weight of foundation.
