Please answer it ASAP for an upvote. Thank you. A 3.5m wide footing is embedded 1.37m beneath the ground surface. The investigation indicated an angle of friction = 21 degrees with a unit weight equal to 18.67 kN/m3. The cohesion is 14 kPa The submerged unit weight of the soil is 12.04 kN/m3 and the factor of safety is 3.0 Determine the gross ultimate bearing capacity (kPa) of the footing if the groundwater table is 1.14 m below the ground surface. Assume footing is rectangular with length 4.8m and load is inclined at 55 degrees with respect to the horizontal
