The footing of a wall is 1.5 m wide at the base and is located in a homogeneous cohesive soil at a depth 1 m below G.L. The soil has Y = 18 kN/m3, C = 36 kN/m2 and o' = 20°. Assume that the soil is soft which is likely to fail under local shear. For a factor of safety of 3, the safe load which can be taken by footing per meter length of footing is kN/m For o' = 20°, N. = 17, N, = 7, N., = 4.5 and for O' = 13.6°, Nc = 11, N, = 4, N, = 1.6
