in this deposit, at some other location, a plate load test was conducted with 30 cm square plate, placed at a depth of 1 m below the ground level. The ultimate load was 13.5 kN. Water table was at a depth of 4 m below the ground level. Calculate the net safe bearing capacity for a 1.5 m wide strip footing to be founded at a depth of 1.5 m in this soil. Take factor of safety as 3. Use terzaghi's bearing capacity theory.
