Suppose you have design for a 2 storied building. Following information are given for design : (1) Square foundation that is B×B in plan, (2) Depth of footing, Df = 2m (3) Vertical gross allowable load, Qall = 3301 kN, (4) Soil properties : γ= 16.5 kN/m^3 φ= 30°, c=0, FS= 3 Determine the size of the foundation ( Use both Tarzaghi's bearing capacity and Meyerhof's bearing capacity factors)
