A shallow square foundation for a column is to be constructed. It must carry a net vertical load of 1000 kN. The soil supporting the foundation is sand. The standard penetration numbers (N60) obtained from field exploration are as follows: FIG. 17.15 The groundwater table is located at a depth of 12 m. The unit weight of soil above the water table is 15.7 kN/m3, and the saturated unit weight of soil below the water table is 18.8 kN/m3. Assume that the depth of the foundation will be 1.5 m and the tolerable settlement is 25 mm. Determine the size of the foundation.
