Question
Q1. A square footing is located in a dense sand at a
depth of 2.80 m. Determine the ultimate bearing
capacity for the following water table positions.
а.
At ground surface
b. At footing level
с.
At 1.5 m below the footing.
Footung size=2.5m
moist unit wight = 20.5Kn/m3
saturated unit weight=21.5Kn/m3
Nc=51.7
Nq=33.8
Ny(Gama)=36.5
