Question-4: A load of 425 kN/m is carried on a strip footing 2m wide at a depth of Im in a stiff clay of saturated unit weight 21 kN/m3, the water table being at ground level. Determine the factor of safety with respect to shear failure (a) when cu 105 kN/m2 and Du= 0 and (b) when c%3D10 kN/m and 0- 28. (Use Meyerhof's Equation)
