Prob. 3): A circular shallow foundation has been constructed at depth D, of 2 m. The gross allowable load with FS= 3 is 600 kN. The soil properties given as following: y= 17 kN/m², Ysat.= 21 kN/m', c'= 0 and o'= 20°. The water table located at the ground surface. Use the general bearing capacity equation to determine the size of the foundation.
