Transcribed Image Text:II. A square footing has a dimension of 1.2m x
1.2m and has its bottom 1 m. below the ground
surface. Determine the ff:
1. If the ground water table is located at a depth
of 1.2 m. below the ground surface, compute
the allowable load that the footing could carry if
it has a factor of safety of 3. (kN)
2. Find the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil
if the ground water table is at the bottom of the
footing. (kPa)
3. Find the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil
if the ground water table is 0.5 m above the
bottom of the footing. (kPa)
