PROBLEM 4.A square footing which carries an axial load of 110000kg has its bottom resting on a ground water table at a depth of 3m from the ground surface. Nc = 35, Nq = 22, Ny = 19. Take PDRY= 1930kg/m3 and PSAT= 1600kg/m3, c= 1800kg/m2. a. Compute the required width of the footing using a factor of safety of 2. b. Compute the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil. c. Compute the net factor of safety. d. Compute the net soil pressure.
